About 8 Park Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Park Drive is a semi-detached house in Bradford (BD9 4DR). It has a recorded floor area of 580 m² (around 6243 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. 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 580 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 72% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 17.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £625,000 is 27.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£78/sq ft) was about 28.6% below the postcode norm.

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 8 Park Drive is modelled from its 580 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BD9 4DR. 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 8 Park Drive. 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 8 Park Drive was lodged in November 2016 at band D and is valid until November 2026. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to 8 Park Drive. 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 51 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BD9 4DR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Park Drive is in council tax band F. 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.
