Flat 4, 314 Barnsley Road, Wakefield, WF2 6AY

Flat 4 is a semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF2 6AY). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump.

Held since August 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 137 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £193,000 is 20.6% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 48% below the postcode norm.
