About 16 Castleway
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Castleway is a semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL11 3BP). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 888 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 53), 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 February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 is 45.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 22.8% below the postcode norm.

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 16 Castleway is modelled from its 83 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL11 3BP. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 16 Castleway. 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 16 Castleway was lodged in February 2009 at band E and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Castleway. 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 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL11 3BP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Castleway is in council tax band C. 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.
