About 38 Dovedale Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Dovedale Road is a semi-detached house in Ashton-In-Makerfield, Wigan, Wigan (WN4 0DY). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
