About 83 Park Avenue

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

83 Park Avenue is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kirkthorpe, Wakefield, Wakefield (WF1 5TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 5 certificates since January 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £144,000 is 25.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 67.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 60 m² it's 18.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 12 EPCs).
