Overview

About 18 Chester Drive

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

18 Chester Drive is a semi-detached house in Ashton-In-Makerfield, Wigan, Wigan (WN4 9JB). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 sits 297.6% above the 1998 sale of £41,500.
