About 15a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
15a is a mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 1JZ). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft). At 61 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 64). The latest certificate (June 2026) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 is 34% below the 2018 sale of £200,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). On the market in May 2018 and unlisted since — roughly 8 years.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 15a is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 1JZ. 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 15a. 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 15a was lodged in June 2026 at band E and is valid until June 2036. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 6 applications are matched to 15a. 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 24 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 1JZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
