Overview

About 5 Wentdale

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

5 Wentdale is a two-bedroom detached house in Little Smeaton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3LX). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in November 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 is 44.5% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£250/sq ft) was about 29.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
