15 Birchtree Close, Wakefield, WF1 4TF

15 Birchtree Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF1 4TF). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since September 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. At 167 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 sits 50.3% above the 2007 sale of £147,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 43.6% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
