About 291 Rochdale Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
291 Rochdale Road is an end-of-terrace house in Oldham (OL1 2HG). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 58 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 39–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (45 versus a best of 69). The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 sits 828% above the 2003 sale of £12,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£20/sq ft) was about 51.3% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2014.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 291 Rochdale Road is modelled from its 58 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL1 2HG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 291 Rochdale Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 291 Rochdale Road was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 291 Rochdale Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 7 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 53 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL1 2HG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
