About 38 Gale Street
38 Gale Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL12 0BG). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 21.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 is 36.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£137/sq ft) was about 24% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
