About 142 Gainsborough Avenue
142 Gainsborough Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1AL). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £198,000 sits 304.1% above the 1996 sale of £49,000.
