Overview

About 23b

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

23b is a semi-detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AY). It has a recorded floor area of 32 m² (around 344 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 32 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (32–371 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 23 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 32 m² it sits well below the postcode median (122 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£465/sq ft) was about 188.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
