About 1 Austin Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Austin Street is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Leigh (WN7 4SF). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 sits 113.8% above the 2008 sale of £65,000. At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (95 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
