About 78 Grange Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
78 Grange Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 4EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in April 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 23.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 is 30% above the 2008 sale price.
