Overview

About 81a

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

81a is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Bradford (BD9 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 132 m² this is the 33rd 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, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (25 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 81a is modelled from its 132 m² EPC floor area, its 2 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. 2 sales are recorded for 81a. 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 81a was lodged in September 2013 at band E and expired in September 2023, 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. None is matched to 81a. 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
81a 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.
