About 15 Alker Street
15 Alker Street is an end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 9BW). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1996, a hold of 30 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. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 sits 286.1% above the 1996 sale of £36,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30/sq ft) was about 63.2% below the postcode norm.
