About 6 Blackledge Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Blackledge Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8TB). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1003 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 sits 58.4% above the 2009 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£189/sq ft) was about 73.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (146 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 6 Blackledge Close is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN5 8TB. 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 6 Blackledge Close. 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 6 Blackledge Close was lodged in June 2009 at band D and expired in June 2019, 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. None is matched to 6 Blackledge Close. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN5 8TB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Blackledge Close is in council tax band D. 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.
