Overview

About 5 Turnpike Close

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

5 Turnpike Close is a detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5PH). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in March 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £372,000 sits 58.3% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
