Overview

About 40 Wakefield Road

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

40 Wakefield Road is a mid-terrace house in Fenay Bridge, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD8 0BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
