About 6 Ash Grove
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Ash Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Royton, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 6TJ). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Across 1995–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 sits 101.9% above the 2013 sale of £104,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 29.8% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 6 Ash Grove is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL2 6TJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 6 Ash Grove. 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 Ash Grove was lodged in October 2013 at band D and expired in October 2023, 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 Ash Grove. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL2 6TJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 6 Ash Grove 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.
