About 8 Central Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Central Avenue is a three-bedroom detached house in Greenfield, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 7DH). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

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 8 Central Avenue is modelled from its 145 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL3 7DH. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 8 Central Avenue. 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 8 Central Avenue was lodged in April 2016 at band D and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 8 Central Avenue. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL3 7DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Central Avenue 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.
