Overview

About 68 Hardy Street

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

68 Hardy Street is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1DL). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 8 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 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 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 42.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 sits 61.3% above the 2009 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 65.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
