Overview

About 12 Wentdale

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

It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2015) returns a B (score 81), comfortably above the UK average. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £378,000 is 12.8% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£384/sq ft) was about 104.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold November 2022 for £335,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 12 Wentdale is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3LX. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 12 Wentdale. 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 12 Wentdale was lodged in June 2015 at band B and expired in June 2025, 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 12 Wentdale. 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 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 3LX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
12 Wentdale is in council tax band D. 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.
