Overview

About 24 Lowside Drive

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

24 Lowside Drive is a semi-detached house in Oldham (OL4 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86).

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 is 23.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£201/sq ft) was about 110% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
