Overview

About 7 Finch Lane

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

7 Finch Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Appley Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN6 9DT). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 672 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a G (score 2), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 28). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 62 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 sits 61.4% above the 2012 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in April 2012 and unlisted since — roughly 14 years.

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 7 Finch Lane is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WN6 9DT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 7 Finch Lane. 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 7 Finch Lane was lodged in September 2011 at band G and expired in September 2021, 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 7 Finch Lane. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WN6 9DT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 Finch Lane is in council tax band C. 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.
