Overview

About 3 The Grove

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

3 The Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5RR). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £443,000 sits 84.6% above the 2013 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 24.2% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
