About 196 Milnrow Road
196 Milnrow Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Shaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 8BE). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £141,000 sits 79.6% above the 2007 sale of £78,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 21.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
