About 1 Bowbank Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Bowbank Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oldham (OL8 2SU). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2026) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since October 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 sits 74.3% above the 2014 sale of £112,995. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 1 Bowbank Close is modelled from its 70 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 2SU. 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 1 Bowbank 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 1 Bowbank Close was lodged in July 2026 at band B and is valid until July 2036. 2 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 1 Bowbank 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 43 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 2SU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Bowbank Close is in council tax band B. 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.
