Overview

About 8 Austin Avenue

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

8 Austin Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashton-In-Makerfield, Wigan, Wigan (WN4 0PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

12 years since the last transfer (November 2014). At 87 m² it's 20.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (109 m² median across 5 EPCs). Across 2013–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 44.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 is 42.5% above the 2014 sale price.
