About The Old Post Office
The Old Post Office is a semi-detached house in Wentbridge, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 927 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows a C (score 71). When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Good. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 86 m² it's 23.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (113 m² median across 9 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 19% above the 2008 sale price.
