About Pearl Assurance House
Pearl Assurance House is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 1LE). It has a recorded floor area of 37 m² (around 398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band A. At 37 m² this is the 14th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in Pearl Assurance House, where floor areas span 19–78 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since September 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. Across 2006–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.8% per year.
