About 1b
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1b is a semi-detached house in Halifax (HX1 2BX). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. At 59 m² this is the 5th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–290 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 35 units on file.
It hasn't traded since March 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 176% above the 1996 sale of £49,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£79/sq ft) was about 41.8% below the postcode norm.

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 1b is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HX1 2BX. 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 1b. 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 1b was lodged in December 2025 at band C and is valid until December 2035. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1b. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 27 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HX1 2BX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1b is in council tax band B. 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.
