About 21 Lovers Lane

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

21 Lovers Lane is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Grasscroft, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4DP). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and a basement.
