Overview

About 15 Birchtree Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

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.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 15 Birchtree Close is modelled from its 167 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 4TF. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 15 Birchtree 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 15 Birchtree Close was lodged in October 2014 at band C and expired in October 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 15 Birchtree 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 4TF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
15 Birchtree Close is in council tax band B. 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.
