Overview

About 6 Brownlow Avenue

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

6 Brownlow Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Royton, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 6LX). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 705 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2010) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 65 m² it's 23% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 9 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 2009–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 is 14.9% above the 2022 sale price.

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 6 Brownlow Avenue is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL2 6LX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 6 Brownlow Avenue. 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 6 Brownlow Avenue was lodged in May 2010 at band E and expired in May 2020, 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. None is matched to 6 Brownlow Avenue. 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 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL2 6LX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 Brownlow Avenue 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.
