Overview

About 4 Cypress Gardens

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

4 Cypress Gardens is a detached house in Firgrove, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3BS). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 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 121 m² it's 19.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 7 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 sits 56.9% above the 2007 sale of £184,246. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 43.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 4 Cypress Gardens is modelled from its 121 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 3BS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 4 Cypress Gardens. 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 4 Cypress Gardens was lodged in January 2015 at band E and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4 Cypress Gardens. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL16 3BS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Cypress Gardens 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.
