About 12 Fern Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Fern Street is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 12 Fern Street is modelled from its 131 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 1SQ. 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 12 Fern Street. 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 12 Fern Street was lodged in April 2014 at band G and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 12 Fern Street. 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 1SQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
