About 14 Ash Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
14 Ash Grove is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8NG). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2002–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 sits 54.3% above the 2014 sale of £105,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 12 years ago, in September 2014.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 14 Ash Grove is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN5 8NG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 14 Ash Grove. 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 14 Ash Grove was lodged in November 2015 at band E and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 14 Ash Grove. 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 8NG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 14 Ash Grove is in council tax band A. 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.
