Apartment A, 40 Bond Street, Wakefield, WF1 2QP
About Apartment A
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 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 -69.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £110,000 sits 69.2% 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).
