Overview

About 14 Brookside Avenue

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

14 Brookside Avenue is a semi-detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4LH). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 111 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 24 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1997–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £295,000 sits 78.8% above the 2013 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 19.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
