8 Cartmel Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Keighley (BD21 2QT). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1561 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 5 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.

It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 145 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 24.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£58/sq ft) was about 24.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
