About 12 Esther Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Esther Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL4 3EP). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in August 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 23 years, with the last transfer in December 2003. Across 2001–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 200% above the 2003 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 40.7% below the postcode norm. At 82 m² it's 18.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 46 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs).

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 12 Esther Street is modelled from its 82 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 3EP. 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 12 Esther 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 12 Esther Street was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 12 Esther 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 46 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 3EP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 Esther 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.
