Overview

About 4 Dorset Avenue

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

4 Dorset Avenue is a detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5PL). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since September 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £362,000 sits 417.1% above the 1996 sale of £70,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 60.3% below the postcode norm. At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
