Overview

About 120a

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

120a is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 80.2% above the 2007 sale of £91,000.

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 120a is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN5 0BE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 120a. 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 120a was lodged in June 2013 at band D and expired in June 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 120a. 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 0BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
120a 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.
