About 6 Birbeck Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Birbeck Close is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN3 6NE). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 404 sq ft) and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2008) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from December 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
At 37 m² it sits well below the postcode median (105 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 2009–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at -5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 48% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 66.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

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 6 Birbeck Close is modelled from its 37 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN3 6NE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 6 Birbeck Close. 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 6 Birbeck Close was lodged in December 2008 at band B and expired in December 2018, 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. None is matched to 6 Birbeck Close. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN3 6NE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Birbeck Close 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.
