About 7 Dorset Avenue
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.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£274/sq ft) was about 23.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
