Overview

About 16 Castle Mews

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

16 Castle Mews is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pontefract (WF8 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. At 56 m² this is the 7th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–63 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (65 versus a best of 82). The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
