Overview

About Holme Garth

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

Holme Garth is a detached house in Kirk Smeaton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3JT). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 sits 52.9% above the 2003 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 44.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 119 m² it's 27% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (163 m² median across 12 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.

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 Holme Garth is modelled from its 119 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3JT. 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 Holme Garth. 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 Holme Garth was lodged in February 2016 at band F and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Holme Garth. 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 16 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 3JT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Holme Garth is in council tax band E. 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.
