Overview

About 8 Buckland Drive

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

8 Buckland Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Wigan (WN5 0JR). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 981 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in June 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 is 38.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 36.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
