Overview

About Old Mill House

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

Old Mill House is a detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5JY). It has a recorded floor area of 238 m² (around 2562 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since August 1999, a hold of 27 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 238 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £657,000 sits 179.6% above the 1999 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 61% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Old Mill House is modelled from its 238 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5JY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Old Mill House. 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 Old Mill House was lodged in September 2023 at band E and is valid until September 2033. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 9 applications are matched to Old Mill House. 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 5JY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Old Mill House is in council tax band G. 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.
