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 £217,000 is 42.8% 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.

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 5 Sorbus Way is modelled from its 60 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HD8 0EY. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 5 Sorbus Way. 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 5 Sorbus Way was lodged in February 2019 at band D and is valid until February 2029. 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 5 Sorbus Way. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HD8 0EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Sorbus Way is in council tax band C. 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.
