Overview

About 5 Higher Lydgate Park

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

5 Higher Lydgate Park is a three-bedroom detached house in Grasscroft, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4EF). It has a recorded floor area of 160 m² (around 1722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 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 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 160 m² it sits well below the postcode median (241 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 5 Higher Lydgate Park is modelled from its 160 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 4EF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 5 Higher Lydgate Park. 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 5 Higher Lydgate Park was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 5 Higher Lydgate Park. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 4EF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
5 Higher Lydgate Park is in council tax band G. 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.
