About 81 Emm Lane
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
81 Emm Lane is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Bradford (BD9 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 21 m² (around 226 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. At 21 m² this is the 15th smallest of 34 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 17–160 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 34 units on file. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 20 years, with the last transfer in January 2007. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 21 m² it's 16% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (25 m² median across 33 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 10.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£531/sq ft) was about 1069.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 refused.

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 81 Emm Lane is modelled from its 21 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BD9 4AJ. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 81 Emm Lane. 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 81 Emm Lane was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 81 Emm Lane. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 48 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BD9 4AJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 81 Emm Lane 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.
