About 1 Deffer Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Deffer Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Wakefield (WF2 7HB). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 864 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 80 m² it's 25.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (64 m² median across 21 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £128,000 sits 70.7% above the 2009 sale of £75,000.

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 1 Deffer Road is modelled from its 80 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF2 7HB. 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 Deffer Road. 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 Deffer Road was lodged in May 2009 at band F and expired in May 2019, 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. None is matched to 1 Deffer Road. 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 12 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF2 7HB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Deffer Road is in council tax band A. 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.
