Overview

About 4 Lichfield Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Lichfield Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Chadderton, Oldham, Oldham (OL9 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 sits 52.4% above the 2009 sale of £145,000. At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.

Valuation method in detail

How the estimate is made: The estimate for 4 Lichfield Drive is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL9 0AZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4 Lichfield Drive. 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 4 Lichfield Drive was lodged in September 2009 at band E and expired in September 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records: Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 4 Lichfield Drive. 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 7 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 40 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL9 0AZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band: 4 Lichfield Drive is in council tax band C. 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.
