Overview

About 21 Sotheron Croft

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

21 Sotheron Croft is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Darrington, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3AR). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 is 35.2% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£199/sq ft) was about 34.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 21 Sotheron Croft is modelled from its 77 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3AR. 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 21 Sotheron Croft. 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 21 Sotheron Croft was lodged in September 2013 at band D and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 21 Sotheron Croft. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 3AR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
21 Sotheron Croft 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.
