22 West Parade Street, Wakefield, WF1 1RH

22 West Parade Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 1RH). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 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. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £97,000 is 10.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£153/sq ft) was about 434% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
