About Knott Hill Cottage
Knott Hill Cottage is a detached house in Delph, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £635,000 is 15.3% below the 2021 sale of £750,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£447/sq ft) was about 48% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 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). Last sale on file: £750,000 in October 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
