2 Abbey Grove, Chadderton, Oldham, OL9 8RJ

2 Abbey Grove is an end-of-terrace house in Chadderton, Oldham, Oldham (OL9 8RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 79 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £165,000 is 37.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 33.3% below the postcode norm.
