This home is in band A, which costs £1,735 a year in Oldham for 2026/27.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Oldham, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone. Check a home's band on GOV.UK.
