Overview

About 17 Beech Lane

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

17 Beech Lane is a five-bedroom detached house in Grasscroft, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4EP). It has a recorded floor area of 445 m² (around 4790 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band G. Tenure is freehold. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a C (score 72).

Held since June 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 445 m² the property is well over the postcode median (164 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £1,659,000 is 31.7% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£263/sq ft) was about 30% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
