Overview

About 3 Birch Road

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

3 Birch Road is a semi-detached house in Uppermill, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 6JN). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 sits 88.8% above the 2005 sale of £178,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 42.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
