7 Kearnes Close, Abram, Wigan, WN2 5YR

7 Kearnes Close is a 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. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. 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.

It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. 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). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £430,000 is 43.3% 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.
