About 21 Balfour Street
21 Balfour Street is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1NR). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 53 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £123,000 sits 75.7% above the 2007 sale of £70,000.
