Overview

About 5b Highfields Court

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

5b Highfields Court is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Huddersfield (HD1 5NG). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 46 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (46–131 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 17 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since November 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £120,000 sits 66.7% above the 2003 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£145/sq ft) was about 28.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
