Overview

About 2 Croft Avenue

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

2 Croft Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8TW). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Sold November 2021 for £230,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2000–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £267,000 is 16.1% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£257/sq ft) was about 252.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
