Overview

About Apartment 5

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

Apartment 5 is a two-bedroom detached house in Wigan (WN5 8AY). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 741 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2008) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 69 m² this is the 5th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 59–108 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top.

Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 is 10.7% below the 2008 sale of £119,850, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£162/sq ft) was about 60.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs).
