How the estimate is made
The estimate for 17 Berkeley Drive is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 4UF. 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 17 Berkeley Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Berkeley Drive is a semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL16 4UF). It has a recorded floor area of 94 m² (around 1012 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across 2001–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 sits 72.1% above the 2006 sale of £154,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. 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 17 Berkeley Drive is modelled from its 94 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 4UF. 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 17 Berkeley 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 17 Berkeley Drive was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, 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 17 Berkeley 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 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL16 4UF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Berkeley Drive is in council tax band C. 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.
