Overview

About 2 Black Rock

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

2 Black Rock is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Shawforth, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL12 8HD). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since May 2001, a hold of 25 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 £198,000 sits 204.8% above the 2001 sale of £64,950. At 50 m² it sits well below the postcode median (81 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
