About 4 Cambridge Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Cambridge Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL11 4DR). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
At 154 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 sits 70.9% above the 2012 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£100/sq ft) was about 49.8% below the postcode 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. Last sold in July 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

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 4 Cambridge Avenue is modelled from its 154 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL11 4DR. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Cambridge Avenue. 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 4 Cambridge Avenue was lodged in January 2016 at band D and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 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 4 Cambridge Avenue. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL11 4DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Cambridge Avenue is in council tax band D. 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.
