The estimate for 1 2 is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 5PX. 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.

About 1 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 2 is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 5PX). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it D (September 2013); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2023. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £111,000 is 30.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 16.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 2 is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF1 5PX. 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 2. 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 2 was lodged in February 2015 at band F and expired in February 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 1 2. 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 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF1 5PX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 2 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.
