Overview

About 17 Old Kiln Lane

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

17 Old Kiln Lane is a detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 5RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2015. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in March 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £356,000 sits 267.2% above the 1998 sale of £96,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 35.6% 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 17 Old Kiln Lane is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL4 5RZ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 17 Old Kiln Lane. 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 17 Old Kiln Lane was lodged in January 2016 at band E and expired in January 2026, 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. None is matched to 17 Old Kiln Lane. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL4 5RZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
17 Old Kiln Lane is in council tax band D. 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.
