About 1 Frederick Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Frederick Street is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since January 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 sits 675.8% above the 2000 sale of £16,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£16/sq ft) was about 73.5% below the postcode norm.

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 Frederick Street is modelled from its 98 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 4AF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Frederick Street. 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 Frederick Street was lodged in May 2015 at band E and expired in May 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 Frederick Street. 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 52 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 4AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Frederick Street is in council tax band A. 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.
