9 Hill Top Estate is a semi-detached house in Heckmondwike (WF16 0ED). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (May 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 44 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £157,000 sits 348.6% above the 1996 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£29/sq ft) was about 73.5% below the postcode norm.
