Overview

About Yew Tree Cottage

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

Yew Tree Cottage is a detached house in Halifax (HX3 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 413 m² (around 4445 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2023) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 413 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £809,000 sits 97.3% above the 2007 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 42.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Yew Tree Cottage is modelled from its 413 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HX3 0BH. 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 Yew Tree Cottage. 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 Yew Tree Cottage was lodged in October 2023 at band D and is valid until October 2033. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Yew Tree Cottage. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HX3 0BH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Yew Tree Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
