Overview

About 138 Balne Lane

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

138 Balne Lane is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF2 0DN). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since November 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 is 45% above the 2007 sale price.
