Overview

About 21 Platt Lane

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

21 Platt Lane is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AD). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1507 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a basement.

At 140 m² the property is well over the postcode median (76 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 46.5% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 29% below the postcode norm. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
