26a Prince Royd, Halifax Road, Huddersfield, HD3 3BS

26a Prince Royd is an end-of-terrace house in Huddersfield (HD3 3BS). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £166,000 sits 100% above the 2007 sale of £83,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£51/sq ft) was about 56.4% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
