Overview

About 7 Castle Mews

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

7 Castle Mews is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pontefract (WF8 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in November 2012 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Main heating runs on electricity. At 58 m² this is the 10th 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 across 22 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £104,000 is 16.8% below the 2007 sale of £124,995, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£200/sq ft) was about 33.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 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.
