Overview

About 1 Orrell Gardens

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

1 Orrell Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8NA). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 89 m² it's 21.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 29 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 is 29.3% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£199/sq ft) was about 54.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £191,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Orrell Gardens is modelled from its 89 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN5 8NA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Orrell Gardens. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Orrell Gardens was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Orrell Gardens. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN5 8NA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Orrell Gardens is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
