Overview

About 3 Helsby Close

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

3 Helsby Close is a semi-detached house in Springhead, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £225,000 is 39.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 91.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 68 m² it's 17.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 6 EPCs).
