About 8 Cow Rakes Lane

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

8 Cow Rakes Lane is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Whiston, Rotherham, Rotherham (S60 4AF). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 sits 79.8% above the 2016 sale of £173,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 18.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 8 Cow Rakes Lane is modelled from its 136 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in S60 4AF. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 8 Cow Rakes Lane. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 8 Cow Rakes Lane was lodged in December 2015 at band D and expired in December 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 Cow Rakes Lane. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S60 4AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
8 Cow Rakes Lane is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
