Overview

About 7 The Grove

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

7 The Grove is a four-bedroom detached house in Dobcross, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5RR). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 50.3% above the 2017 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 17.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 158 m² it's 17.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (134 m² median across 12 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
