Overview

About 2 East Street

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

2 East Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Firgrove, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 592 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91). The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

It hasn't traded since June 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. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 is 38.4% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 40.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
