26 Birchenlea Street, Chadderton, Oldham, OL9 8HA

26 Birchenlea Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Chadderton, Oldham, Oldham (OL9 8HA). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 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 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 sits 51.4% above the 2008 sale of £107,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 23.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
