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 £224,000 sits 53.4% above the 2015 sale of £146,000. On the market in January 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. At 57 m² it's 19.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (71 m² median across 4 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 3 Wibsey Cottages is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5SJ. 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 3 Wibsey Cottages. 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 3 Wibsey Cottages was lodged in April 2015 at band D and expired in April 2025, 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. None is matched to 3 Wibsey Cottages. 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 5SJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
