About 2a
2a is a four-bedroom detached house in Bradford (BD9 4DL). It has a recorded floor area of 188 m² (around 2024 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949. The latest certificate (August 2022) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2007. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£180/sq ft) was about 135% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
