About 1 Smithy Green
1 Smithy Green is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Newhey, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 3TG). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since March 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £193,000 sits 382.5% above the 1996 sale of £40,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 72.5% below the postcode norm.
