About 3 Balfour Street
3 Balfour Street is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1NR). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 53 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 sits 78.9% above the 2007 sale of £71,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
