Overview

About 12 Ainsdale Drive

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

12 Ainsdale Drive is a detached house in Whitworth, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL12 8QB). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £219,000 is 28.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 38.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
