About 131a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
131a is an end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL11 4JG). It has a recorded floor area of 269 m² (around 2895 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 269 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
