Overview

About 8 Grove Road

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

8 Grove Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontefract (WF8 1ED). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £147,000 is 30.1% above the 2007 sale price.
