Overview

About 16 Briar Grove

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

16 Briar Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF1 5LT). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 722 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £158,000 sits 77.5% above the 2013 sale of £89,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 25.7% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
