Overview

About 4 Balne Lane

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

4 Balne Lane is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wakefield (WF2 0DA). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 977 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2009) 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 October 2008. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 sits 133.6% above the 2003 sale of £65,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 70.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
