About 1 Elizabeth Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Elizabeth Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 5NE). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since July 2012. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £139,000 sits 69.5% above the 2012 sale of £82,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 28.9% below the postcode norm. 14 years since the last transfer (September 2012).

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 1 Elizabeth Street is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 5NE. 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 1 Elizabeth Street. 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 1 Elizabeth Street was lodged in April 2016 at band E and expired in April 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 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 1 Elizabeth Street. 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 5NE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Elizabeth Street is in council tax band A. 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.
