Overview

About 8 Birch Avenue

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

8 Birch Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Lepton, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD8 0HP). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 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 70 m² it's 17.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 5 EPCs). Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 is 40% above the 2009 sale price.
