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 £537,000 sits 53.4% above the 2017 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£206/sq ft) was about 19.8% 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 23.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (128 m² median across 12 EPCs). Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 7 The Grove is modelled from its 158 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5RR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 7 The Grove. 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 7 The Grove was lodged in May 2012 at band C and expired in May 2022, 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 7 The Grove. 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 5RR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
7 The Grove is in council tax band F. 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.
