About 12 Balmoral Close

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

12 Balmoral Close is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Milnrow, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3EL). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

At 127 m² it's 28.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (99 m² median across 6 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 sits 53.9% above the 2018 sale of £165,000.
