Overview

About 8 Ferndale Drive

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

8 Ferndale Drive is a detached house in Appley Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN6 9BB). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1256 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 is 20.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£217/sq ft) was about 24% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Ferndale Drive is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN6 9BB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Ferndale Drive. 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 8 Ferndale Drive was lodged in January 2009 at band C and expired in January 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Ferndale Drive. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN6 9BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Ferndale Drive is in council tax band E. 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.
