Overview

About 8 Bennett Drive

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

8 Bennett Drive is a detached house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 7AR). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 171 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 195.2% above the 1999 sale of £161,950.
