Overview

About 7 Cottingley Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

7 Cottingley Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Bingley (BD16 1ND). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since August 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. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 is 43.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£223/sq ft) was about 26.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 131 m² it's 21.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (167 m² median across 13 EPCs).
