About 28 Kingsway Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
28 Kingsway Close is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Across 2010–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 is 17.3% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£243/sq ft) was about 107.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 42 m² it's 20.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (53 m² median across 19 EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Last sale on file: £110,000 in December 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 28 Kingsway Close is modelled from its 42 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 1BE. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 28 Kingsway Close. 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 28 Kingsway Close was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 28 Kingsway Close. 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 53 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 1BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 28 Kingsway Close 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.
