Overview

About 4 Merlewood Avenue

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

4 Merlewood Avenue is a semi-detached house in Uppermill, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 6HG). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 127 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £347,000 sits 402.9% above the 1995 sale of £69,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 79.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
