Overview

About 20a

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

20a is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AG). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in December 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (107 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 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. Today's modelled estimate of £437,000 is 29.5% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £337,500 in March 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
