Overview

About 44 Woods Lane

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

44 Woods Lane is a mid-terrace house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AN). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 2017–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 47.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £365,000 is 46% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£170/sq ft) was about 34.7% below the postcode norm. Last sold in December 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
