About 2 Canal Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Canal Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN3 4EH). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 964 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 sits 54.9% above the 2012 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 28.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. At 90 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (121 m² median across 4 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2 Canal Cottages is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN3 4EH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Canal Cottages. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Canal Cottages was lodged in January 2012 at band D and expired in January 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Canal Cottages. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 4 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN3 4EH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Canal Cottages is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
