About Apartment A
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Apartment A is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF1 2QP). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows a C (score 74). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 20 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 -69.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 sits 75.4% above the 2007 sale of £65,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£99/sq ft) was about 20.8% below the postcode norm. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs).

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 Apartment A is modelled from its 61 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 2QP. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Apartment A. 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 Apartment A was lodged in December 2020 at band C and is valid until December 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Apartment A. 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 26 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 2QP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Apartment A is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
