About 3 Chantry Waters
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
3 Chantry Waters is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 5ED). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2019) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. At 66 m² this is the 4th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in 3 Chantry Waters, where floor areas span 50–81 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. Period features are noted in the property record.
Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 is 21.4% below the 2007 sale of £145,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. Held since March 2007 — that's 19 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. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).

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 3 Chantry Waters is modelled from its 66 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 3 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 3 Chantry Waters was lodged in July 2019 at band B and is valid until July 2029. 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 3 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
- 3 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.
