About 15 Dover Street
15 Dover Street is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 2SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £161,000 sits 109.1% above the 2007 sale of £77,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 37.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 88 m² it's 20.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 29 EPCs).
