Overview

About 2 Foster Street

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

2 Foster Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 989 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £125,000 sits 63.4% above the 2009 sale of £76,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 77.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
