About 639a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
639a is a detached house in Wigan (WN5 8AG). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
