Overview

About 8 Thornley Crescent

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

8 Thornley Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 5QX). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £296,000 sits 60% above the 2012 sale of £185,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 99 m² it's 16.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (119 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 13 years since the last transfer (December 2012).
