Overview

About 16 Brooklands Drive

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

16 Brooklands Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4LD). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1997–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 sits 63.1% above the 2016 sale of £195,000.

Method

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 16 Brooklands Drive is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 4LD. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 16 Brooklands Drive. 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 16 Brooklands Drive was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to 16 Brooklands Drive. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 4LD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Brooklands Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
