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. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Sold April 2021 for £216,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 110 m² it's 22.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 23 EPCs). Across 1998–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 is 38% above the 2021 sale price.
