Overview

About 8 Caxton Gardens

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

8 Caxton Gardens is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontefract (WF8 1TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (September 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Across 2001–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £272,000 is 15.7% above the 2021 sale price.

That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
