About 5 Edward Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Edward Street is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL9 7QW). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in August 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 204 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 475% above the 1998 sale of £52,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£24/sq ft) was about 85.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2025. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, 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 5 Edward Street is modelled from its 204 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL9 7QW. 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 5 Edward 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 5 Edward Street was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 5 Edward 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 52 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL9 7QW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Edward Street is in council tax band D. 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.
