Overview

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 June 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average.

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 (87 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 sits 384.6% 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.
