Overview

About 38b

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

The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (January 2021) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2010. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good.

Across 2007–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £130,000 sits 52.9% above the 2016 sale of £85,000.

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 38b is modelled from its 90 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LS26 9BZ. 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 38b. 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 38b was lodged in January 2021 at band C and is valid until January 2031. 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 38b. 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 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LS26 9BZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
38b is in council tax band A. 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.
