Overview

About 4 Manor Close

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

4 Manor Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Kirk Smeaton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 283 m² (around 3043 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

At 283 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2011–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at -5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £502,000 sits 84.6% above the 2012 sale of £272,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£89/sq ft) was about 54.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 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 Manor Close is modelled from its 283 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3LZ. 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 Manor Close. 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 Manor Close was lodged in April 2009 at band D and expired in April 2019, 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 4 Manor Close. 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 3 schools and 17 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 3LZ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Manor Close 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.
