Overview

About 1 The Russets

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

1 The Russets is a four-bedroom detached house in Sandal, Wakefield, Wakefield (WF2 6JF). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 784 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2011) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since May 2011. The latest certificate is from June 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (132 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £381,000 is 33.7% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£363/sq ft) was about 122.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold March 2021 for £285,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
