About 24 Brook Lodge
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
24 Brook Lodge is a two-bedroom detached house in Wakefield (WF1 5PB). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 558 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2009) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 52 m² this is the 12th smallest of 27 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–66 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (85 versus a worst of 77).
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in November 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £102,000 sits 97.4% above the 2008 sale of £51,667. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£93/sq ft) was about 34.5% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).

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 24 Brook Lodge is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 5PB. 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 24 Brook Lodge. 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 24 Brook Lodge was lodged in May 2009 at band B and expired in May 2019, 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 24 Brook Lodge. 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 5PB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 24 Brook Lodge 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.
