Overview

About 78 Beckett Road

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

78 Beckett Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Doncaster (DN2 4AX). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 51 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (51–122 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (39 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (June 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). Main heating runs on electricity.

Held since January 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (101 m² across 18 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2014. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £106,000 is 24.7% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 91.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
