227 Batley Road, Kirkhamgate, Wakefield, WF2 0RZ

227 Batley Road is a semi-detached house in Kirkhamgate, Wakefield, Wakefield (WF2 0RZ). It has a recorded floor area of 211 m² (around 2271 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since January 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 211 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 5 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). Today's modelled estimate of £627,000 sits 192.6% above the 1997 sale of £214,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 55.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
