About 2 Dovedale Drive

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

2 Dovedale Drive is a semi-detached house in Wardle, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL12 9LR). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in May 2013 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
