How the estimate is made
The estimate for 5 Badger Lane is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 4RQ. 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 5 Badger Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 Badger Lane is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 4RQ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 762 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since October 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. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 57.5% above the 2007 sale of £87,000. At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.

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 5 Badger Lane is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 4RQ. 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 5 Badger Lane. 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 5 Badger Lane was lodged in February 2009 at band D and expired in February 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. None is matched to 5 Badger Lane. 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 4RQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Badger Lane 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.
