Overview

About 71 Lightcliffe Road

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

71 Lightcliffe Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Huddersfield (HD4 5BD). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (June 2012); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 93 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 37 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 sits 101.8% above the 2012 sale of £56,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 45.4% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 71 Lightcliffe Road is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HD4 5BD. 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 71 Lightcliffe Road. 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 71 Lightcliffe Road was lodged in January 2015 at band G and expired in January 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 71 Lightcliffe Road. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HD4 5BD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
71 Lightcliffe Road 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.
