About 16 Birch Avenue

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

16 Birch Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Standish, Wigan, Wigan (WN6 0EF). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2013.
