Overview

About 28 Sandbrook Road

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

28 Sandbrook Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8UD). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 sits 281.5% above the 1999 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 48.7% below the postcode norm.
