Overview

About 12 Elm Grove

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

12 Elm Grove is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wardle, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL12 9LF). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 724 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 100% above the 2009 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 26.2% below the postcode norm.
