Overview

About 31 Acorn Mill

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

31 Acorn Mill is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lees, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 3DH). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 796 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. At 74 m² this is the 19th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 54–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 34 units on file. Other recorded features include a balcony. The latest certificate (January 2011) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 is 14.6% below the 2004 sale of £185,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 29.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 22 years, with the last transfer in December 2004.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 Acorn Mill is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 3DH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 31 Acorn Mill. 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 31 Acorn Mill was lodged in January 2011 at band D and expired in January 2021, 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. None is matched to 31 Acorn Mill. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 3DH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
31 Acorn Mill is in council tax band C. 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.
