About 18 Franklin Street
18 Franklin Street is a mid-terrace house in Halifax (HX1 4LH). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £127,000 sits 182.2% above the 2009 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£44/sq ft) was about 28.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
