About 8 Pippins Green Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
8 Pippins Green Avenue is a semi-detached house in Kirkhamgate, Wakefield, Wakefield (WF2 0RX). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 903 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 84 m² it's 19.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 19 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 is 35.8% above the 2008 sale price.

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 8 Pippins Green Avenue is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF2 0RX. 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 8 Pippins Green Avenue. 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 8 Pippins Green Avenue was lodged in October 2008 at band E and expired in October 2018, 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. 1 application is matched to 8 Pippins Green Avenue. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF2 0RX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 8 Pippins Green Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
