About 52 Richard Street
52 Richard Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL11 1DU). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 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. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 32.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 31.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
