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.
