Overview

About 8 Birshaw Close

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

8 Birshaw Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL2 8SU). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 sits 71.5% above the 2015 sale of £130,000. At 93 m² it sits well below the postcode median (153 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in August 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
