About 6 Balfour Street
6 Balfour Street is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1NR). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 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 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 53 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 sits 136% above the 2007 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£46/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm.
