Overview

About 20 Alum Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

20 Alum Drive is a semi-detached house in Bradford (BD9 5LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in April 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 191 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 340% above the 1998 sale of £49,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£24/sq ft) was about 81.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
