About The Laurels
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Laurels is a six-bedroom detached house in Oldham (OL4 2LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 395 m² (around 4249 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 395 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 33 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. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 1999–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £812,000 sits 64% above the 2010 sale of £495,000.

Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Laurels is modelled from its 395 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for The Laurels. 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 Laurels was lodged in March 2010 at band F and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to The Laurels. 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.
