About 581 Oldham Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

581 Oldham Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 4SU). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
