Overview

About 14 Lane Drive

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

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.

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 14 Lane Drive is modelled from its 153 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 5QZ. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 14 Lane Drive. 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 14 Lane Drive was lodged in July 2013 at band C and expired in July 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 14 Lane Drive. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 5QZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
14 Lane Drive is in council tax band F. 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.
