Overview

About 20 Cecil Avenue

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

20 Cecil Avenue is a mid-terrace house in Bradford (BD7 3BP). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 7 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in April 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £226,000 sits 182.5% above the 1998 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 55.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 185 m² it sits well below the postcode median (296 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 3 refused.
