Overview

About 5 Bidston Close

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

5 Bidston Close is a semi-detached house in Shaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 8JS). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £188,000 sits 370.6% above the 1996 sale of £39,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£45/sq ft) was about 63% below the postcode norm. At 82 m² it's 17.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 14 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
