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 28 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 £581,000 sits 247.9% above the 1998 sale of £167,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 53.1% below the postcode norm.
