Overview

About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a detached house in Wentbridge, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since November 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 64), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 The Cottage is modelled from its 192 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3HZ. 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 The Cottage. 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 The Cottage was lodged in July 2014 at band G and expired in July 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. None is matched to The Cottage. 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 2 schools and 27 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 3HZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
