About 5 Banks Avenue
5 Banks Avenue is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Pontefract (WF8 4DL). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1020 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 42). The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 90% above the 2011 sale of £100,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in November 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
