Overview

About 23 Farholme

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

23 Farholme is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Royton, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 5BU). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
