1 East Street, Rochdale, OL16 2EG
About 1 East Street
1 East Street is an end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 2EG). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 301 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. At 28 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (28–165 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to B across 52 units on file. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 4 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since April 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 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (45 m² across 51 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £213,000 is 14.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£617/sq ft) was about 601.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
