4 Equitable Street, Rochdale, OL11 1JQ

4 Equitable Street is a mid-terrace house in Rochdale (OL11 1JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2022) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot.

Held since January 1995 — that's 32 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. At 98 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 297.1% above the 1995 sale of £34,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 32.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
