The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Halifax Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point.

- Council tax band
