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 (39–152 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 (62 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £431,000 is 39% above the 2018 sale price.
