About 8 Hillside Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Hillside Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 3-band jump.

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 8 Hillside Avenue is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 1LQ. 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 8 Hillside Avenue. 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 8 Hillside Avenue was lodged in June 2016 at band F and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 8 Hillside Avenue. 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 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 1LQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Hillside Avenue 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.
