Overview

About 12 Gidlow Avenue

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

12 Gidlow Avenue is a semi-detached house in Wigan (WN6 7PF). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since April 2014. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 is 46.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 18.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
