3 Castle Mews, Pontefract, WF8 1AH

3 Castle Mews is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pontefract (WF8 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). Main heating runs on electricity. At 52 m² this is the 2nd 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 across 22 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £98,000 is 10.4% below the 2007 sale of £109,435, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 31% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price.
