Overview

About 7a

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

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. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 320.1% above the 2000 sale of £84,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£53/sq ft) was about 72.4% below the postcode norm. At 149 m² it's 28.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 6 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

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 7a is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5AE. 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 7a. 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 7a was lodged in October 2010 at band D and expired in October 2020, 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. 1 application is matched to 7a. 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 5AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7a is in council tax band C. 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.
