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. Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Across 2010–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 is 36.8% above the 2016 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Woodlands is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5NL. 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 3 Woodlands. 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 3 Woodlands was lodged in February 2011 at band E and expired in February 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Woodlands. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 5NL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Woodlands is in council tax band C. 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.
