Overview

About 8 Birchwood Drive

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

8 Birchwood Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Keighley (BD20 6DA). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 897 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £171,000 sits 80% above the 2009 sale of £95,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 35.3% below the postcode norm.
