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 £155,000 sits 74.2% above the 2013 sale of £89,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 25.9% 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.

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 16 Briar Grove is modelled from its 67 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 5LT. 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 16 Briar Grove. 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 16 Briar Grove was lodged in May 2011 at band E and expired in May 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Briar Grove. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 5LT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Briar Grove is in council tax band B. 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.
