About 187 Garforth Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
187 Garforth Street is a mid-terrace house in Chadderton, Oldham, Oldham (OL9 6RP). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since August 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2000, a hold of 26 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. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 sits 321.4% above the 2000 sale of £28,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 17.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (80 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 187 Garforth Street is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL9 6RP. 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 187 Garforth Street. 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 187 Garforth Street was lodged in August 2015 at band D and expired in August 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. 1 application is matched to 187 Garforth Street. 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 49 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL9 6RP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 187 Garforth 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.
