Overview

About 2a

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

2a is a five-bedroom detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in November 2023 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in July 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £483,000 sits 277.5% above the 1999 sale of £127,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 25.1% below the postcode norm. At 144 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (125 m² median across 6 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs).

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 2a is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5NQ. 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 2a. 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 2a was lodged in June 2026 at band C and is valid until June 2036. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2a. 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 5NQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2a is in council tax band E. 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.
