Overview

About 15 Buchanan Road

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

15 Buchanan Road is a semi-detached house in Wigan (WN5 9SB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 101.5% above the 2012 sale of £68,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 14 years ago, in April 2012.
