Overview

About 1 Bedford Avenue

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

1 Bedford Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 7DR). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in July 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 sits 287.3% above the 1998 sale of £55,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 55.2% below the postcode norm.
