2 Chaucer Street, Rochdale, OL11 2QG

2 Chaucer Street is an end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL11 2QG). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 60.9% above the 2008 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 32.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
