20 Ross Street, Oldham, OL8 1UA
About 20 Ross Street
20 Ross Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 1UA). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 34.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 sits 63.8% above the 2007 sale of £69,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 26.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
