Overview

About 3 Ballard Way

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

3 Ballard Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 8DU). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 sits 62.2% above the 2014 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 67.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

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 3 Ballard Way is modelled from its 66 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL2 8DU. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 3 Ballard Way. 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 3 Ballard Way was lodged in May 2013 at band D and expired in May 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 3 Ballard Way. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL2 8DU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Ballard Way 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.
