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 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 sits 130.5% 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.

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 Balne Lane is modelled from its 91 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF2 0DA. 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 4 Balne Lane. 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 Balne Lane was lodged in June 2009 at band E and expired in June 2019, 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 Balne Lane. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF2 0DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 4 Balne Lane 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.
