Overview

About 5 Birch View

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

5 Birch View is an end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL12 9PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 839 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 78 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 is 10.6% above the 2007 sale price.
