Overview

About 156 Bell Lane

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

156 Bell Lane is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 0DA). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since June 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1996–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 sits 67% above the 2006 sale of £115,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
