Overview

About Cottonside

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

Cottonside is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN3 4BG). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). Main heating runs on electricity. At 65 m² this is the 25th smallest of 28 units on EPC record in Cottonside, where floor areas span 53–69 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 28 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony.

It hasn't traded since June 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
