Overview

About 8 Christopher Street

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

8 Christopher Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Ince, Wigan, Wigan (WN3 4QY). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
