About 136 Dirkhill Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

It has a recorded floor area of 24 m² (around 258 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 24 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 36 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 14–140 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C, with this unit at the top.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 1996–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 164.5% above the 2015 sale of £62,000.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 136 Dirkhill Road is modelled from its 24 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BD7 1QR. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 136 Dirkhill Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 136 Dirkhill Road was lodged in August 2015 at band C and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 136 Dirkhill Road. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
- 136 Dirkhill Road is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
