Overview

About 39a

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

39a is a detached house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 8UD). It has a recorded floor area of 270 m² (around 2906 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 1998, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 270 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £571,000 sits 241.9% above the 1998 sale of £167,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 54.5% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 39a is modelled from its 270 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN5 8UD. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 39a. 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 39a was lodged in June 2013 at band D and expired in June 2023, 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 39a. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN5 8UD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
39a is in council tax band F. 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.
