Millside, Apartment 4, Heritage Way, Wigan, WN3 4BE

Millside is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN3 4BE). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 58 m² this is the 7th smallest of 40 units on EPC record in Millside, where floor areas span 54–75 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 is 17.3% below the 2008 sale of £139,000, 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 (£223/sq ft) was about 28.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2008. 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 82% of similar EPCs).
