About 39a
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.
