About 72 Grange Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
72 Grange Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 4EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump.
