About 20 Chantry Waters
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Chantry Waters is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 5ED). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2024) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (August 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 86). Main heating runs on electricity. At 69 m² this is the 44th smallest of 81 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 48–107 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 81 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £112,000 is 33.7% below the 2008 sale of £169,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£228/sq ft) was about 26.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 20 Chantry Waters is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 5ED. 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 20 Chantry Waters. 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 20 Chantry Waters was lodged in October 2024 at band C and is valid until October 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 20 Chantry Waters. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 5ED, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Chantry Waters is in council tax band C. 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.
