Overview

About 7 Dorset Avenue

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

7 Dorset Avenue is a two-bedroom detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5PL). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 sits 60.4% above the 2015 sale of £212,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 26% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 72 m² it sits well below the postcode median (119 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2016. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
