About 26 Dobcross New Road
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 (122 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.
