Overview

About 26 City Road

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

26 City Road is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 sits 95.1% above the 2014 sale of £79,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 22.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). On the market in February 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 26 City Road is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN5 0BD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 26 City Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 26 City Road was lodged in November 2014 at band E and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26 City Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN5 0BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 City Road is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
