About 16 Barlow Street
16 Barlow Street is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1DY). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 sits 441.7% above the 1996 sale of £24,000.
