Overview

About 7 Fern Street

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

7 Fern Street is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1SQ). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£10/sq ft) was about 84.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused.
