Overview

About 8 Crossbank Avenue

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

8 Crossbank Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lees, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4SB). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 816 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 38.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 Crossbank Avenue is modelled from its 76 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 4SB. 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 Crossbank Avenue. 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 Crossbank Avenue was lodged in August 2010 at band C and expired in August 2020, 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 Crossbank Avenue. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 4SB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Crossbank Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
