About 18 Crab Lane
18 Crab Lane is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Newmillerdam, Wakefield, Wakefield (WF2 7SU). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since December 2008, a hold of 17 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 142 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 is 33.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£157/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2015.
