Overview

About 1 Fairfield Drive

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

1 Fairfield Drive is a semi-detached house in Heckmondwike (WF16 9NR). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2014) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 326.7% above the 1995 sale of £60,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£42/sq ft) was about 69.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2011.
