Overview

About 2 Birch Street

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

2 Birch Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN6 7EB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since April 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. Today's modelled estimate of £131,000 sits 329.5% above the 1998 sale of £30,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£36/sq ft) was about 64.6% below the postcode norm.
