About 25 Game Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
25 Game Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 1QW). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2016) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2016. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in May 2009. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 sits 111.7% above the 2009 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30/sq ft) was about 28.5% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 25 Game Street is modelled from its 186 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 1QW. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 25 Game Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 25 Game Street was lodged in October 2016 at band E and expired in October 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 25 Game Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 44 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 1QW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 25 Game Street is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
