How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Beech Street is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 2QG. 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.

About 1 Beech Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Beech Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontefract (WF8 2QG). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
Today's modelled estimate of £155,000 sits 74.2% above the 2012 sale of £89,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 27.7% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 14 years since the last transfer (November 2012).

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 1 Beech Street is modelled from its 85 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 2QG. 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 1 Beech Street. 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 1 Beech Street was lodged in May 2014 at band E and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to 1 Beech Street. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 2QG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Beech Street is in council tax band B. 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.
