1 Lonsdale Avenue, Rochdale, OL16 5HP

1 Lonsdale Avenue is a semi-detached house in Rochdale (OL16 5HP). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (98 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 446.3% above the 1997 sale of £41,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£25/sq ft) was about 82.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
