About 12 Chapel Avenue
12 Chapel Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Heckmondwike (WF16 9LB). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2018 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £117,000 sits 80% above the 2007 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 30% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
