Overview

About Ivy Cottage

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

Ivy Cottage is a detached house in Waterhead, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 3SG). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £497,000 sits 55.3% above the 2017 sale of £320,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 9 years ago, in March 2017.
