About 255 Windsor Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
255 Windsor Road is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 is 37.1% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£87/sq ft) was about 148.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 255 Windsor Road is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 1AE. 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 255 Windsor Road. 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 255 Windsor Road was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 255 Windsor Road. 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 8 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 51 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 1AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 255 Windsor Road is in council tax band B. 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.
