About 162 Gidlow Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
162 Gidlow Lane is a mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN6 7EA). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a G (score 15), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 is 36.5% below the 2025 sale of £200,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£295/sq ft) was about 295.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 63 m² it's 26.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 35 EPCs).

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 162 Gidlow Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
