About 17 Railway Street
17 Railway Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newhey, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3RN). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 754 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 70 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 sits 57.8% above the 2009 sale of £90,000.
