Overview

About 17 Ripponden Road

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

17 Ripponden Road is a detached house in Denshaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5SH). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). At 64 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 20 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 51–202 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 20 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 is 35.5% below the 2023 sale of £515,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£748/sq ft) was about 296.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 64 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £515,000 in July 2023.
