About 63 Gainsborough Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
63 Gainsborough Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £173,000 sits 592% above the 1995 sale of £25,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£21/sq ft) was about 36.6% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).

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 63 Gainsborough Avenue is modelled from its 110 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 1AJ. 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 63 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 63 Gainsborough Avenue was lodged in October 2015 at band E and expired in October 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 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 63 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 51 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 1AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 63 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.
