About 18 Gidlow Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
18 Gidlow Avenue is a semi-detached house in Wigan (WN6 7PF). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (February 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to E (score 41), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 85 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £186,000 is 34.3% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 20.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 18 Gidlow Avenue is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN6 7PF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- 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 18 Gidlow Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 18 Gidlow Avenue was lodged in December 2014 at band G and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 18 Gidlow Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN6 7PF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 18 Gidlow Avenue is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
