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 £290,000 is 43.7% 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 285.6% 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.

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 17 Ripponden Road is modelled from its 64 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5SH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Ripponden Road. 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 17 Ripponden Road was lodged in June 2023 at band D and is valid until June 2033. 5 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 17 Ripponden Road. 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 2 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 5SH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Ripponden Road 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.
