About 18 Adams Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Adams Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wigan (WN3 5UH). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1127 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since August 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (57 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 92.9% above the 2011 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 32.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 18 Adams Drive is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 3 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. 3 sales are recorded for 18 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 18 Adams Drive was lodged in September 2009 at band D and expired in September 2019, 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. 1 application is matched to 18 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
- 18 Adams Drive is in council tax band C. 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.
