About 1 Bowness Avenue
1 Bowness Avenue is a semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL12 7DN). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2013. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 262.7% above the 1997 sale of £51,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 47.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 72 m² it's 20% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 13 EPCs).
