About 5 April Close

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

5 April Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Oldham (OL8 2XQ). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump.
