About The Hawthorns
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Hawthorns is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 2LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. At 52 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 9 units on EPC record in The Hawthorns, where floor areas span 43–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2013. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since June 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (90 m² across 33 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 73% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.2% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 126.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 The Hawthorns is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 6 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 2LZ. 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. 6 sales are recorded for The Hawthorns. 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 The Hawthorns was lodged in February 2026 at band C and is valid until February 2036. 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 The Hawthorns. 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 23 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 2LZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Hawthorns is in council tax band B. 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.
