Overview

About Lowbrook Farm

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

Lowbrook Farm is a semi-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 (July 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since March 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £467,000 sits 152.4% above the 2001 sale of £185,000.
