Overview

About 8 Grotton Hollow

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

8 Grotton Hollow is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4LN). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 922 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 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 £264,000 sits 60% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 86 m² it's 17.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 10 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs).

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 8 Grotton Hollow is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 4LN. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Grotton Hollow. 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 8 Grotton Hollow was lodged in October 2008 at band C and expired in October 2018, 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 8 Grotton Hollow. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 4LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Grotton Hollow 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.
