Overview

About 26 Dobcross New Road

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

26 Dobcross New Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5AY). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (130 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Most recent transfer: December 2020 at £280,500. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £334,000 is 19.1% above the 2020 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 122.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
