Overview

About 158 Bell Lane

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

158 Bell Lane is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 0DA). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
