Overview

About 3 James Street

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

3 James Street is a semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL12 0DX). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 1997–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at -0.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £156,000 sits 387.5% above the 2003 sale of £32,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
