Overview

About 179 Chew Valley Road

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

179 Chew Valley Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Greenfield, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 7DF). It has a recorded floor area of 256 m² (around 2756 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 256 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2017. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £683,000 is 23% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 44.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: March 2021 at £555,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
