About 16 Crown Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Crown Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN3 5BL). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
