Overview

About 5 Brownlow Avenue

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

5 Brownlow Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Royton, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 6LX). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2013. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £149,000 is 21.6% above the 2007 sale price.
