Overview

About 4 Viewlands

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

4 Viewlands is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Little Smeaton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 762 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Across 2001–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 69.6% above the 2011 sale of £112,000. Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.

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 4 Viewlands is modelled from its 71 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3LJ. 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 4 Viewlands. 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 4 Viewlands was lodged in October 2010 at band E and expired in October 2020, 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. None is matched to 4 Viewlands. 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 4 schools and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 3LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Viewlands is in council tax band C. 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.
