3 West View, Hopwood Lane, Halifax, HX1 3YA

3 West View is a mid-terrace house in Halifax (HX1 3YA). It has a recorded floor area of 287 m² (around 3089 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 287 m² the property is well over the postcode median (189 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 sits 328.3% above the 1997 sale of £46,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£15/sq ft) was about 32.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
