About 4 St Pauls Drive
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 St Pauls Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF2 0BT). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2002–2020, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 sits 50.6% above the 2020 sale of £85,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Sold April 2020 for £85,000.

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 4 St Pauls Drive is modelled from its 86 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF2 0BT. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 4 St Pauls Drive. 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 4 St Pauls Drive was lodged in January 2014 at band E and expired in January 2024, 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 4 St Pauls Drive. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF2 0BT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 St Pauls Drive 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.
