Overview

About 80 Gainsborough Avenue

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

80 Gainsborough Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 64 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
