About 51 Bardsley Vale Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
51 Bardsley Vale Avenue is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Oldham (OL8 3HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Last sale on file: £230,000 in December 2021. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2001–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £304,000 is 32.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£158/sq ft) was about 30.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 51 Bardsley Vale Avenue is modelled from its 135 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 3HZ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 51 Bardsley Vale Avenue. 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 51 Bardsley Vale Avenue was lodged in November 2014 at band E and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 51 Bardsley Vale Avenue. 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 42 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 3HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 51 Bardsley Vale Avenue 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.
