Overview

About 8 Oldham Road

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

8 Oldham Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Denshaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5SL). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.

Today's modelled estimate of £187,000 sits 70% above the 2014 sale of £110,000. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (98 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in February 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
