About Riversdale
Riversdale is a detached house in Northwich (CW8 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 sits 692% above the 1996 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 79.8% below the postcode norm.
