Overview

About 1 Bishop S Croft

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

1 Bishop S Croft is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF2 6GU). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since July 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Other recorded features include a basement.

It hasn't traded since December 2007, a hold of 19 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. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 is 14.7% above the 2007 sale price. One planning record on file: tree works refused in 2021.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Bishop S Croft is modelled from its 109 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF2 6GU. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Bishop S Croft. 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 1 Bishop S Croft was lodged in June 2025 at band C and is valid until June 2035. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Bishop S Croft. 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 10 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF2 6GU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Bishop S Croft is in council tax band E. 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.
