Apartment 7, 1 Meadowgate, Wigan, WN6 7QH

Apartment 7 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wigan (WN6 7QH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 571 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 53 m² this is the 12th 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 top. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £97,000 is 22.1% below the 2007 sale of £124,495, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
