Overview

About 2 Mere Street

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

2 Mere Street is an end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL11 1HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 sits 357.1% above the 1997 sale of £38,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 65.6% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
