About 17 Darley Street
17 Darley Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Heckmondwike (WF16 9LP). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.
Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2003–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 is 39.4% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 47.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
