18 Arbour Lane, Standish, Wigan, WN6 0YJ

18 Arbour Lane is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Standish, Wigan, Wigan (WN6 0YJ). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 715 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 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. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 sits 303.6% above the 1996 sale of £56,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 59.8% below the postcode norm. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
