About 5 St Albans Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 St Albans Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 1UT). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since March 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £174,000 sits 262.5% above the 2000 sale of £48,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£30/sq ft) was about 46.7% below the postcode norm. At 149 m² it's 20.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (188 m² median across 19 EPCs).

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 5 St Albans Street is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 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 5 St Albans Street was lodged in February 2013 at band E and expired in February 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 5 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
- 5 St Albans Street is in council tax band B. 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.
