About 629 Ormskirk Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
629 Ormskirk Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 8AG). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 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 £126,000 sits 334.5% above the 1997 sale of £29,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£25/sq ft) was about 68.3% below the postcode norm.
