About 73 Towngate
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
73 Towngate is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Huddersfield (HD4 6JR). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 109.7% above the 2009 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£88/sq ft) was about 26.7% below the postcode norm.
