About 40a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
40a is a semi-detached house in Bradford (BD9 4BB). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. At 102 m² this is the 15th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–184 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 22 units on file.
Across 2003–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 is 12% below the 2022 sale of £125,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 36.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 102 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold November 2022 for £125,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.

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 40a is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BD9 4BB. 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 40a. 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 40a was lodged in September 2024 at band D and is valid until September 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 40a. 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 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BD9 4BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 40a 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.
