About 3 Crown Street
3 Crown Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 5LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 26% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £118,000 is 41.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 46.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
