Overview

About The Moorlands

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

The Moorlands is a detached house in Denshaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5UN). It has a recorded floor area of 249 m² (around 2680 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 249 m² the property is well over the postcode median (176 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £614,000 is 34.9% above the 2021 sale price.

Sold June 2021 for £455,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
