About 17 First Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 First Avenue is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Halifax (HX3 0DL). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2015. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement and a loft.

11 years since the last transfer (December 2015). Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1997–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 is 35.4% above the 2015 sale price.

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 17 First Avenue is modelled from its 125 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HX3 0DL. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 17 First Avenue. 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 17 First Avenue was lodged in July 2016 at band D and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 17 First Avenue. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HX3 0DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 First Avenue is in council tax band C. 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.
