Overview

About 8 Larchway

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Larchway is a detached house in Firgrove, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £252,000 sits 59% above the 2009 sale of £158,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 28.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
