About 8 Grendon Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Grendon Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 4HT). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 8 Grendon Avenue is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 4HT. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Grendon Avenue. 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 8 Grendon Avenue was lodged in September 2015 at band E and expired in September 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 8 Grendon Avenue. 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 4HT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Grendon Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
