Overview

About 39 St James Road

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

39 St James Road is a mid-terrace house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8SS). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).

It hasn't traded since September 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£130/sq ft) was about 16.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
