About 17 St Albans Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 St Albans Street is an end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 1UT). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (June 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 32.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 48.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £157,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 17 St Albans Street is modelled from its 191 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 1UT. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 17 St Albans Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 17 St Albans Street was lodged in April 2016 at band F and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 St Albans Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 36 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL16 1UT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 St Albans Street is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
