Overview

About 2 Princess Street

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

2 Princess Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sandal, Wakefield, Wakefield (WF1 5NY). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump.

Held since January 2007 — that's 20 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £133,000 is 15.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 37.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 Princess Street is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 5NY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2 Princess 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 2 Princess Street was lodged in May 2022 at band E and is valid until May 2032. 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 2 Princess 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 18 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 5NY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Princess 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.
