Overview

About 8 Wentdale

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

8 Wentdale is a three-bedroom detached house in Little Smeaton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3LX). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 8 Wentdale is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 4 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. 4 sales are recorded for 8 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 8 Wentdale was lodged in March 2015 at band F and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 8 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
8 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.
