About 8 Devon Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Devon Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Diggle, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5PP). It has a recorded floor area of 226 m² (around 2433 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a G (score 3), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 226 m² the property is well over the postcode median (123 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 sits 127.8% above the 2014 sale of £198,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 68.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in November 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 8 Devon Drive is modelled from its 226 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5PP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Devon Drive. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Devon Drive was lodged in November 2015 at band G and expired in November 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Devon Drive. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 3 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 5PP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Devon Drive is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
