About 4 Crib Lane
4 Crib Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AF). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 168 m² the property is well over the postcode median (126 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £711,000 is 28.1% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£307/sq ft) was about 36.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
