About 17 Gainsborough Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Gainsborough Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

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 17 Gainsborough Avenue is modelled from its 133 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 1AH. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 17 Gainsborough Avenue. 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 Gainsborough Avenue was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 Gainsborough Avenue. 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 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 1AH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Gainsborough Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
