Overview

About 18 Boswell Place

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

18 Boswell Place is an end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN3 5LR). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
