Overview

About Grange Cottage

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

Grange Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Pontefract (WF8 3RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 81 m² (around 872 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 81 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2003–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at -3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 102.6% above the 2017 sale of £115,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 29% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2014. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in May 2017.

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 Grange Cottage is modelled from its 81 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3RJ. 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 Grange Cottage. 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 Grange Cottage was lodged in March 2016 at band D and expired in March 2026, 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. 1 application is matched to Grange Cottage. 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 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 3RJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Grange Cottage is in council tax band C. 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.
