Apartment 7, 9 Meadowgate, Wigan, WN6 7QP

Apartment 7 is a two-bedroom property in Wigan (WN6 7QP). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 633 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 59 m² this is the 9th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–64 m². Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £100,000 is 16.7% below the 2008 sale of £120,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. Held since November 2008 — that's 18 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.
