Overview

About 238a

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

238a is a mid-terrace house in Lydgate, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4DN). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 50 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 13 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–119 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2017) shows a C (score 70).

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (76 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £148,000 is 48% above the 2007 sale price.
