Overview

About 17 Ashdown Road

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

17 Ashdown Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 5LU). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 42.6% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£65/sq ft) was about 21.5% below the postcode norm.
