About 1 Birch View
1 Birch View is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL12 9PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90).
It hasn't traded since January 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. At 79 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 is 23.7% above the 2007 sale price.
