Overview

About 11 Firbarn Close

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

11 Firbarn Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Firgrove, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3BF). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2008. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

It hasn't traded since January 1996, a hold of 31 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 £330,000 sits 347.5% above the 1996 sale of £73,750. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 66.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 11 Firbarn Close is modelled from its 118 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 3BF. 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 11 Firbarn Close. 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 11 Firbarn Close was lodged in August 2025 at band D and is valid until August 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 11 Firbarn Close. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL16 3BF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
11 Firbarn Close is in council tax band D. 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.
