About 7 Mere Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
7 Mere Street is a mid-terrace house in Rochdale (OL11 1HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (February 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 118 m² it's 15.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (102 m² median across 20 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £170,000 is 36% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£98/sq ft) was about 39.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 7 Mere Street is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL11 1HJ. 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 7 Mere Street. 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 7 Mere Street was lodged in March 2016 at band F and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 7 Mere Street. 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 10 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL11 1HJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 7 Mere Street is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
