Overview

About 1 Freedom House

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

1 Freedom House is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in East Morton, Keighley, Keighley (BD20 5UH). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. At 79 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (79–89 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (53 versus a best of 67). Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since November 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. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 22.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 24.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
