4 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 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.
