About 1 Leaway
1 Leaway is a semi-detached house in Wardle, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL12 9JS). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 85 m² the property is well over the postcode median (64 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 279.6% above the 1999 sale of £57,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 68% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
