Overview

About 9 Holcroft Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

9 Holcroft Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Abram, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5YP). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 54 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 2007–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 is 10.4% above the 2023 sale price. Sold May 2023 for £270,000.
