Overview

About 6 Ward Lane

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

6 Ward Lane is a three-bedroom detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5JT). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On the market in July 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 is 44.7% above the 2016 sale price.
