Apartment 2, 1 Meadowgate, Wigan, WN6 7QH

Apartment 2 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN6 7QH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band A. At 53 m² this is the 8th smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (66 versus a best of 79). The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 is 10.5% below the 2007 sale of £118,495, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
