About 3 Thorn Tree Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Thorn Tree Cottages is a mid-terrace house in Halifax (HX3 9TA). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2012) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since March 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £343,000 sits 85.4% above the 2002 sale of £185,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 3 Thorn Tree Cottages is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HX3 9TA. 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 3 Thorn Tree Cottages. 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 3 Thorn Tree Cottages was lodged in September 2012 at band D and expired in September 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 3 Thorn Tree Cottages. 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HX3 9TA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 3 Thorn Tree Cottages 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.
