Overview

About 14 The Square

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

14 The Square is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AA). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in February 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £449,000 is 18.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£229/sq ft) was about 40.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in October 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
