About 1 Bowden Close

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

1 Bowden Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL11 2XT). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
