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 £132,000 sits 65% 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).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 68 Hardy Street is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 1DL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 68 Hardy Street. 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 68 Hardy Street was lodged in March 2014 at band E and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 8 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 68 Hardy Street. 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 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 52 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 1DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 68 Hardy Street is in council tax band A. 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.
