Overview

About 5 Hillside Avenue

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

5 Hillside Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 6 certificates since March 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2003–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 sits 175% above the 2014 sale of £48,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 19.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
