Overview

About 1a

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

1a is a two-bedroom detached house in Springhead, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in March 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

Today's modelled estimate of £298,000 sits 56.8% above the 2016 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 16.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). Last sold in September 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
