Overview

About 23 Fenay Lea Drive

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

23 Fenay Lea Drive is a detached house in Waterloo, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD5 8RR). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 792 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £215,000 sits 65.4% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 26.4% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
