About 160 City Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
160 City Road is an end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 0BG). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since June 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 sits 60.5% above the 2015 sale of £73,500. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 160 City Road is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN5 0BG. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 160 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 160 City Road was lodged in July 2013 at band F and expired in July 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 160 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 0BG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 160 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.
