About 20 Birchley Road

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

20 Birchley Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Billinge, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 7QH). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B.

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
