Overview

About 6 Foster Street

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

6 Foster Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1NQ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 sits 356% above the 2004 sale of £25,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£29/sq ft) was about 36.6% below the postcode norm.
