1 Barbrook Close, Standish, Wigan, WN6 0SX

1 Barbrook Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Standish, Wigan, Wigan (WN6 0SX). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (August 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since August 1998, a hold of 28 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. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £270,000 sits 350% above the 1998 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 64.9% below the postcode norm.
