Overview

About 17 Cape Gardens

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

17 Cape Gardens is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Shaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 8PD). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
