8 Fir Road is an end-of-terrace house in Huddersfield (HD1 4JE). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 128 m² the property is well over the postcode median (84 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £179,000 is 19.3% above the 2007 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
