20 Blackwood Grove, Halifax, HX1 4RH

20 Blackwood Grove is a mid-terrace house in Halifax (HX1 4RH). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 148 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 31 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 87% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £119,000 sits 376% above the 2003 sale of £25,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£16/sq ft) was about 65% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
