About 17 Adams Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Adams Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wigan (WN3 5UH). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Most recent transfer: April 2023 at £120,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2000–2023, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 is 21.7% above the 2023 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£177/sq ft) was about 70.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2002.

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 17 Adams Drive is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN3 5UH. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 17 Adams Drive. 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 17 Adams Drive was lodged in January 2016 at band D and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17 Adams Drive. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN3 5UH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Adams Drive is in council tax band B. 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.
