Overview

About 8 Bakewell Drive

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

8 Bakewell Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wigan (WN6 8QH). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 57.7% above the 2015 sale of £142,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 91.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
