Overview

About Fairways

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

Fairways is a detached house in Darrington, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £313,000 sits 73.9% above the 2014 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£236/sq ft) was about 23% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 71 m² it sits well below the postcode median (139 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
