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. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. 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.
