Overview

About 4 Poplar Avenue

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

4 Poplar Avenue is a semi-detached house in Lydgate, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4JX). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 101), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £310,000 sits 369.7% above the 1995 sale of £66,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 67.8% below the postcode norm.
