Overview

About 18 Wentworth Park Rise

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

18 Wentworth Park Rise is a three-bedroom detached house in Darrington, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3AU). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1927 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in June 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 179 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs). 12 years since the last transfer (August 2014). Today's modelled estimate of £414,000 is 45.3% above the 2014 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.

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 18 Wentworth Park Rise is modelled from its 179 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3AU. 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 18 Wentworth Park Rise. 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 18 Wentworth Park Rise was lodged in April 2015 at band C and expired in April 2025, 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. 1 application is matched to 18 Wentworth Park Rise. 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 3AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
18 Wentworth Park Rise is in council tax band F. 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.
