Wharfside, Apartment 20, Heritage Way, Wigan, WN3 4AT

Wharfside is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN3 4AT). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. At 57 m² this is the 63rd smallest of 96 units on EPC record in Wharfside, where floor areas span 42–62 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 22.8% below the 2007 sale of £145,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 34.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since September 2007 — that's 19 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
