About 5 Buttercup Drive
5 Buttercup Drive is a detached house in Rochdale (OL11 3PA). It has a recorded floor area of 101 m² (around 1087 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 is 48.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 151.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
