How the estimate is made
The estimate for 55a is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HD5 8RX. 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.

About 55a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
55a is a semi-detached house in Almondbury, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD5 8RX). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (75 m² across 30 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 55a is modelled from its 143 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HD5 8RX. 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. No sale is recorded for 55a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 55a was lodged in September 2014 at band E and expired in September 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 55a. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HD5 8RX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 55a 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.
