Overview

About 17 Thorpe Close

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

17 Thorpe Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Austerlands, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 3QL). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 sits 52.2% above the 2013 sale of £157,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 39% below the postcode norm. Last sold in June 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
