About 4 School Mews
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 School Mews is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newhey, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3RW). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Across 1998–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 68.5% above the 2016 sale of £127,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 79.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
