Overview

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.
