5 Den Hill Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Springhead, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4NR). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since November 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £286,000 sits 376.7% above the 1998 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 76.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
