About 39 Chief Street
39 Chief Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1EJ). 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 (January 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 sits 70.5% above the 2011 sale of £78,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 14 years ago, in December 2011.
