Overview

About 18b

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

18b is an end-of-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 1JD). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 57 m² this is the 8th smallest of 12 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 42–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (October 2018) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

It hasn't traded since May 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs).
