Overview

About Birdcage

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

Birdcage is a detached house in Halifax (HX3 0JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 388 m² (around 4176 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 15 years, with the last transfer in April 2011. At 388 m² the property is well over the postcode median (165 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £796,000 sits 67.6% above the 2011 sale of £475,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 48.3% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Method

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 Birdcage is modelled from its 388 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HX3 0JQ. 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 Birdcage. 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 Birdcage was lodged in June 2014 at band D and expired in June 2024, 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. 5 applications are matched to Birdcage. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HX3 0JQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Birdcage is in council tax band G. 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.
