About 38 Poplar Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
38 Poplar Street is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Birkby, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD2 2PA). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £107,000 sits 64.6% above the 2006 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 56% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 52 m² it's 28.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 24 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 38 Poplar Street is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HD2 2PA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- 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 38 Poplar Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 38 Poplar Street was lodged in February 2015 at band E and expired in February 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 38 Poplar Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HD2 2PA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 38 Poplar Street is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
