1 Oak Street, Wakefield, WF1 3EA
About 1 Oak Street
1 Oak Street is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF1 3EA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since January 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £175,000 sits 348.7% above the 1996 sale of £39,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£49/sq ft) was about 73.2% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
