Overview

About 1 Wilson Street

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

1 Wilson Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pontefract (WF8 1HL). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2023) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in July 2018 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).

It hasn't traded since January 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 £122,000 is 47% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 38.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
