Overview

About 40 Woods Lane

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

40 Woods Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AN). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1598 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2005–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £730,000 is 40.4% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 55.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
