Overview

About 2 Buttercup Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Buttercup Drive is a detached house in Oldham (OL4 2QS). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84).

Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 sits 316.5% above the 1997 sale of £96,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 41% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
