Overview

About 16 Gidlow Avenue

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

16 Gidlow Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wigan (WN6 7PF). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in November 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 90 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £208,000 is 40.5% above the 2009 sale price.
