Overview

About 1 Edward Drive

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

1 Edward Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Ashton-In-Makerfield, Wigan, Wigan (WN4 8QU). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £193,000 sits 54.4% above the 2007 sale of £125,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 21.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 37 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
