Overview

About 71 Darrington Road

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

71 Darrington Road is a five-bedroom detached house in East Hardwick, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3DS). It has a recorded floor area of 246 m² (around 2648 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F.

Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 71 Darrington Road is modelled from its 246 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3DS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 71 Darrington Road. 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 71 Darrington Road was lodged in April 2014 at band E and expired in April 2024, 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. 5 applications are matched to 71 Darrington Road. 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 3DS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
71 Darrington Road 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.
