5 Kearnes Close, Abram, Wigan, WN2 5YR

5 Kearnes Close is a six-bedroom detached house in Abram, Wigan, Wigan (WN2 5YR). It has a recorded floor area of 214 m² (around 2303 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 214 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £425,000 is 41.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 24.4% below the postcode norm.
