About 31 Cornfield Street
31 Cornfield Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Milnrow, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3DW). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 83 m² it's 16.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (72 m² median across 18 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 26.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 32.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
