About 27 Cambridge Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
27 Cambridge Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Wakefield (WF2 8TZ). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 sits 94.5% above the 2004 sale of £73,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 33.8% below the postcode norm.

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 27 Cambridge Street is modelled from its 84 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF2 8TZ. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 27 Cambridge Street. 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 27 Cambridge Street was lodged in August 2014 at band E and expired in August 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 27 Cambridge Street. 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 25 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF2 8TZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 27 Cambridge Street 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.
