About 1 Ambleside Avenue
1 Ambleside Avenue is a semi-detached house in Bradford (BD9 5HX). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 266.4% above the 1995 sale of £59,500.
