Overview

About 38 Balmoral Road

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

38 Balmoral Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wigan (WN5 9EN). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 41.9% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£179/sq ft) was about 23.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold September 2021 for £148,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
