Overview

About 3 Bell Meadow Drive

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

3 Bell Meadow Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Rochdale (OL11 4BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since November 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 77 m² it's 21.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (98 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 41.5% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£241/sq ft) was about 23.5% below the postcode norm.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 3 Bell Meadow Drive is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL11 4BJ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 3 Bell Meadow Drive. 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 3 Bell Meadow Drive was lodged in September 2011 at band E and expired in September 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 3 Bell Meadow Drive. 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 4BJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
3 Bell Meadow Drive 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.
