Overview

About 3 Poplar Avenue

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

3 Poplar Avenue is a semi-detached house in Lydgate, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4JX). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 949 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
