Overview

About 68 Gainsborough Avenue

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

68 Gainsborough Avenue is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 22.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 24.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 263.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 81 m² it's 22.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 64 EPCs).
