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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 1998–2005, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year.
