About 15 City Road
15 City Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wigan (WN5 0AY). It has a recorded floor area of 388 m² (around 4176 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64).
