Overview

About 12 Church Fields

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

12 Church Fields is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AB). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–278 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (27 versus a best of 64). Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (65 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £407,000 is 31.3% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£738/sq ft) was about 253.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 8 years since the last transfer (April 2018).

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 12 Church Fields is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5AB. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 12 Church Fields. 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 12 Church Fields was lodged in June 2012 at band F and expired in June 2022, 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. 4 applications are matched to 12 Church Fields. 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 3 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 5AB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Church Fields is in council tax band D. 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.
