Overview

About 3 Buckland Drive

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

3 Buckland Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Wigan (WN5 0JR). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since.
