Overview

About 15b

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

15b is a detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 5RH). It has a recorded floor area of 264 m² (around 2842 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band G.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Today's modelled estimate of £683,000 sits 326.9% above the 2007 sale of £160,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 76.1% below the postcode norm.

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 15b is modelled from its 264 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 5RH. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 15b. 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 15b was lodged in August 2021 at band C and is valid until August 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 15b. 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 5RH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15b is in council tax band G. 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.
