About 104 City Road
104 City Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since August 1995 — that's 31 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. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (77 m² across 32 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 254.5% above the 1995 sale of £33,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£60/sq ft) was about 24.6% below the postcode norm.
