About 3 Chamber Hall Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Chamber Hall Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Oldham (OL8 4DN). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2015) returns a high B (score 87), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 1996–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £205,000 sits 74.5% above the 2014 sale of £117,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension and a basement excavation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in December 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 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 3 Chamber Hall Close is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 4DN. 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 3 Chamber Hall 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 3 Chamber Hall Close was lodged in May 2015 at band B and expired in May 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 7 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Chamber Hall 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 49 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 4DN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Chamber Hall Close is in council tax band C. 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.
