8 Cliffe Avenue, Lightcliffe, Halifax, HX3 8TN

8 Cliffe Avenue is a semi-detached house in Lightcliffe, Halifax, Halifax (HX3 8TN). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £275,000 sits 61.8% above the 2008 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£122/sq ft) was about 28.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
