Overview

About 3 Wibsey Cottages

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

3 Wibsey Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Denshaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1999–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 59.6% above the 2015 sale of £146,000. On the market in January 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years. At 57 m² it's 18.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 4 EPCs).
