About 1 Ryecroft Close

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

1 Ryecroft Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Lightcliffe, Halifax, Halifax (HX3 8TF). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 3 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Poor.

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 1 Ryecroft Close is modelled from its 149 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HX3 8TF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Ryecroft Close. 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 1 Ryecroft Close was lodged in June 2026 at band C and is valid until June 2036. 3 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 1 Ryecroft Close. 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 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HX3 8TF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Ryecroft Close 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.
