About 8 King Street
8 King Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Delph, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 178 m² (around 1916 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 178 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 62.8% above the 2008 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£112/sq ft) was about 16.7% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
