Overview

About 4 Rectory Court

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

4 Rectory Court is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kirk Smeaton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF8 3SP). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in March 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 122 m² it's 15% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (144 m² median across 4 EPCs). Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £318,000 is 27.2% above the 2008 sale price.

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 Rectory Court is modelled from its 122 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 3SP. 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 Rectory Court. 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 Rectory Court was lodged in May 2015 at band D and expired in May 2025, 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 Rectory Court. 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 3SP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Rectory Court 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.
