Overview

About 5 Birch Grove

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

5 Birch Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Ashton-In-Makerfield, Wigan, Wigan (WN4 0QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 18.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2016, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
