About 20 Farrand Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Farrand Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL8 4QP). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a C (score 70). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 is 28.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 42.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 20 Farrand Road is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL8 4QP. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 20 Farrand Road. 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 20 Farrand Road was lodged in June 2014 at band C and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 20 Farrand Road. 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 45 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL8 4QP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Farrand Road is in council tax band A. 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.
