Overview

About 8 Balmoral Road

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

8 Balmoral Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wigan (WN5 9EN). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
