How the estimate is made
The estimate for Thurston House is modelled from its 220 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5RG. 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.

About Thurston House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Thurston House is a detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5RG). It has a recorded floor area of 220 m² (around 2368 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 220 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 Thurston House is modelled from its 220 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5RG. 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. No sale is recorded for Thurston House, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 Thurston House was lodged in December 2014 at band E and expired in December 2024, 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 Thurston House. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 5RG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Thurston House is in council tax band G. 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.
