About 17 Leach Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Leach Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Rochdale (OL16 5NH). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2013) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (May 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Across 1996–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 sits 67.6% above the 2019 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 72.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold May 2019 for £68,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. At 54 m² it's 25.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 8 EPCs).

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 Leach Street is modelled from its 54 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in OL16 5NH. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 17 Leach Street. 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 Leach Street was lodged in November 2013 at band D and expired in November 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 17 Leach Street. 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 34 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from OL16 5NH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Leach Street 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.
