Overview

About 2 Lovers Lane

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

2 Lovers Lane is a detached house in Grasscroft, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4DP). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. At 48 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (48–143 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since February 2000, a hold of 27 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 £299,000 sits 120.7% above the 2000 sale of £135,500. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (69 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Lovers Lane is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 4DP. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Lovers Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Lovers Lane was lodged in April 2019 at band E and is valid until April 2029. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 2 Lovers Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 4DP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Lovers Lane is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
