Overview

About 4 Ward Lane

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

4 Ward Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5JT). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (122 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across 1995–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £364,000 is 48.6% above the 2016 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Ward Lane is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5JT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for 4 Ward Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 4 Ward Lane was lodged in November 2015 at band C and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 4 Ward Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 3 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 5JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Ward Lane is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
