7a, Chancery Lane, Dobcross, Oldham, OL3 5AE
About 7a
7a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AE). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1606 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since May 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 149 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £328,000 sits 288.2% above the 2000 sale of £84,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 73.1% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
