Overview

About 38 City Road

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

38 City Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £124,000 sits 327.6% above the 2000 sale of £29,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 48.6% below the postcode norm. At 69 m² it's 17.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 27 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
