About 8 Spruce Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Spruce Drive is a six-bedroom detached house in Northowram, Halifax, Halifax (HX3 7WG). It has a recorded floor area of 200 m² (around 2153 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F.

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

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 8 Spruce Drive is modelled from its 200 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HX3 7WG. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 8 Spruce Drive. 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 8 Spruce Drive was lodged in August 2015 at band D and expired in August 2025, 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. None is matched to 8 Spruce Drive. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HX3 7WG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Spruce Drive 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.
