Overview

About 1 Bowman Street

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

1 Bowman Street is an end-of-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 5AX). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since April 2015. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2017.
