Overview

About 12 Barnes Avenue

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

12 Barnes Avenue is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 2BH). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
