Overview

About 18 Grovewood Drive

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

18 Grovewood Drive is a detached house in Appley Bridge, Wigan, Wigan (WN6 9JF). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2015. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On the market in March 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 is 29.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£167/sq ft) was about 25.6% below the postcode norm.

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 18 Grovewood Drive is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WN6 9JF. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 18 Grovewood 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 18 Grovewood Drive was lodged in January 2015 at band D and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 18 Grovewood 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 9JF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Grovewood Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
