Overview

About 15 Lovers Lane

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

15 Lovers Lane is a semi-detached house in Grasscroft, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4DP). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 1998, a hold of 28 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. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £406,000 sits 272.5% above the 1998 sale of £109,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 63.9% below the postcode norm.
