What is around it

Size, energy rating, walls and flood risk.

Crime nearby

Crimes recorded within about 500 metres, last twelve months.

Greater Manchester Police have not published street-level crime data to data.police.uk since July 2019, so there is nothing reliable to show here. That is a gap in their records, not a quiet area.

A dot is the nearest point on or near a street, never a house.

Broadband

Gigabit

Every home in this postcode can get gigabit broadband (full fibre or cable): 1,000 Mb or more.

How this area has changed

Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.

Area Now 5 years ago10 years ago15 years ago20 years ago
Saffron Drive – Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales Not enough sales
Postcode sector OL4 2 £245,000 £176,000 +39% since £137,950 +78% since Not enough sales £125,000 +96% since
Oldham £244,000 £185,000 +32% since £138,000 +77% since £123,000 +98% since £130,000 +88% since

The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
