About 48 Church Street
48 Church Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Heckmondwike (WF16 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 38.2% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 32.8% below the postcode norm.
