Carl Royd, Cleevethorpe Grove, Wakefield, WF2 7NA

Carl Royd is a five-bedroom detached house in Wakefield (WF2 7NA). It has a recorded floor area of 226 m² (around 2433 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since January 2008 — that's 18 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 226 m² the property is well over the postcode median (48 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £526,000 sits 102.3% above the 2008 sale of £260,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
