Overview

About 3 Woodlands

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

3 Woodlands is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5NL). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 800 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
