This home is in band B, which costs £2,023 a year in Rochdale for 2026/27.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Rochdale, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone. Check a home's band on GOV.UK.
