About 120 Alverthorpe Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
120 Alverthorpe Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF2 9PL). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). The latest certificate is from January 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a basement.
Across 2012–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 44.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 sits 63.3% above the 2013 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£77/sq ft) was about 28.1% below the postcode norm. At 108 m² it's 25.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 7 EPCs).

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 120 Alverthorpe Road is modelled from its 108 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF2 9PL. 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 120 Alverthorpe 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 120 Alverthorpe Road was lodged in January 2013 at band D and expired in January 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 120 Alverthorpe 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.

- Council tax band
- 120 Alverthorpe 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.
