About 5 Ashley Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Ashley Street is a mid-terrace house in Oldham (OL9 6LS). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £168,000 sits 133.3% above the 2007 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 37.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 5 Ashley Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Planning records

- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 7 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 5 Ashley Street 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.
