Overview

About 6 Barlow Street

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

6 Barlow Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1DY). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £184,000 sits 50.8% above the 2013 sale of £122,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 223.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 13 years since the last transfer (June 2013).
