Overview

About 8 Poplar Avenue

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

8 Poplar Avenue is a semi-detached house in Lydgate, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4JX). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 is 45.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 37.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
