Overview

About 1 Library Close

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

1 Library Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Lepton, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD8 0BT). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 654 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

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. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 47.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 103.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Library Close is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HD8 0BT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Library Close. 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 1 Library Close was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Library Close. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HD8 0BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Library Close is in council tax band D. 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.
