About 34 City Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
34 City Road is a mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).
Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 sits 214.3% above the 2009 sale of £42,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 27.2% below the postcode norm. At 68 m² it's 19% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 27 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 34 City Road is modelled from its 68 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 34 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 34 City Road was lodged in September 2020 at band C and is valid until September 2030. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 34 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
- 34 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.
