Overview

About 27 St James Road

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

27 St James Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8SS). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
