23 Belmont Avenue, Billinge, Wigan, WN5 7BZ

23 Belmont Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Billinge, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 7BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 494 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since May 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 271.1% above the 1997 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 28.3% below the postcode norm. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
