How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Lilac Avenue is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 4LN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About 1 Lilac Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Lilac Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Newhey, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL16 4LN). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2021. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since August 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. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 90% of similar EPCs). Across 2001–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 sits 54.5% above the 2007 sale of £94,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 33% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Lilac Avenue is modelled from its 103 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 4LN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Lilac Avenue. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Lilac Avenue was lodged in June 2021 at band E and is valid until June 2031. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Lilac Avenue. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 5 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL16 4LN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Lilac Avenue is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
