Overview

About 4 Castle Mews

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

4 Castle Mews is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontefract (WF8 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 54 m² (around 581 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band B. At 54 m² this is the 4th smallest of 22 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–68 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 (February 2018) 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.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in August 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£188/sq ft) was about 25.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
