About 17 Dover Street
17 Dover Street is a mid-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 2SZ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in January 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £113,000 is 44.9% above the 2007 sale price.
