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 £299,000 is 19.6% above the 2008 sale price.
