About 2a
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.
