About 13 Bankfield Lane
13 Bankfield Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in Rochdale (OL11 5RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 168 m² the property is well over the postcode median (127 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £416,000 sits 137.7% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 33% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
