Overview

About 2 Beech Street

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

2 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 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Sold September 2021 for £162,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year.
