About 14 Lane Drive
14 Lane Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 5QZ). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a loft.
At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2009–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Last sale on file: £435,000 in August 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
