71 Lightcliffe Road, Huddersfield, HD4 5BD

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 £112,000 sits 98.2% above the 2012 sale of £56,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 45.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in August 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
