About 11 Bennett Drive
11 Bennett Drive is a detached house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 7AR). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1324 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £380,000 sits 54.5% above the 2007 sale of £246,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 80.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
