Overview

About 4 Chestnut Grove

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

4 Chestnut Grove is a two-bedroom detached house in Pontefract (WF8 3NG). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 800 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 61). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2011 — that's 15 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (109 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £302,000 is 25.9% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£300/sq ft) was about 43.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Chestnut Grove is modelled from its 74 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3NG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Chestnut Grove. 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 Chestnut Grove was lodged in September 2010 at band E and expired in September 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 Chestnut Grove. 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 15 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 3NG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Chestnut Grove 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.
