About 23 Meadow Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
23 Meadow Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Outwood, Wakefield, Wakefield (WF1 3TB). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 997 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. Main heating runs on smokeless coal. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 9.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 is 44.5% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£221/sq ft) was about 29.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 23 Meadow Close is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 3TB. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 23 Meadow Close. 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 23 Meadow Close was lodged in November 2008 at band F and expired in November 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 23 Meadow Close. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 3TB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 23 Meadow Close is in council tax band D. 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.
