Rear Of 3, Bowman Street, Wakefield, WF1 5AX
About Rear Of 3
Rear Of 3 is a mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 5AX). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since July 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 sits 103.6% above the 2009 sale of £55,000. At 71 m² it's 22.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (58 m² median across 42 EPCs).
