About Cottonside

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

Cottonside is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN3 4BG). 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.

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 80). Main heating runs on electricity. At 57 m² this is the 4th 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.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
