About 2 Dukes Chase
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Dukes Chase is a four-bedroom detached house in Pontefract (WF8 1SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2008, a hold of 18 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. At 142 m² it's 21.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (117 m² median across 5 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 41.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£131/sq ft) was about 26.2% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 2 Dukes Chase is modelled from its 142 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 1SJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Dukes Chase. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 2 Dukes Chase was lodged in August 2009 at band C and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 2 Dukes Chase. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 1SJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 2 Dukes Chase is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
