Overview

About 7 Birks Avenue

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

7 Birks Avenue is a detached house in Lees, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 3PR). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 sits 74.1% above the 2014 sale of £170,000. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
