Overview

About 5 Sorbus Way

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

5 Sorbus Way is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Lepton, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD8 0EY). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (111 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 is 46.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£235/sq ft) was about 29.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
