About 86 Grange Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
86 Grange Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 4EJ). It has a recorded floor area of 202 m² (around 2174 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since February 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 202 m² the property is well over the postcode median (151 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 464.4% above the 1997 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£21/sq ft) was about 35% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
