About 2 Caxton Gardens

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

2 Caxton Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontefract (WF8 1TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £218,000 sits 165.9% above the 2000 sale of £81,995.
