Overview

About 42 Bolton Street

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

42 Bolton Street is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £136,000 sits 70% above the 2009 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 338.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 90 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (75 m² median across 23 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
