About 3 Blackchapel Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Blackchapel Drive is a detached house in Rochdale (OL16 4QU). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1852 sq ft) and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £412,000 sits 333.7% above the 2000 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 74.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 3 Blackchapel Drive is modelled from its 172 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 4QU. 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 3 Blackchapel Drive. 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 3 Blackchapel Drive was lodged in November 2009 at band C and expired in November 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Blackchapel Drive. 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 28 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL16 4QU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Blackchapel Drive is in council tax band D. 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.
