About 3 Delph Greaves Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Delph Greaves Cottages is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Delph, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5TY). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 896 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 83 m² it sits well below the postcode median (172 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 is 41% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 120.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.

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 Delph Greaves Cottages is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 5TY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Delph Greaves 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 Delph Greaves Cottages was lodged in October 2009 at band E and expired in October 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Delph Greaves 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 5TY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Delph Greaves Cottages is in council tax band D. 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.
