About 2a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2a is a detached house in Wrenthorpe, Wakefield, Wakefield (WF2 0NU). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2009–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 25% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 sits 67% above the 2009 sale of £100,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 52.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 57 m² it's 23% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 7 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 2a is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF2 0NU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 2a. 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 2a was lodged in February 2009 at band D and expired in February 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2a. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF2 0NU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
