About 5 Banks Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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 £205,000 sits 105% 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.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 Banks Avenue is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF8 4DL. 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 5 Banks Avenue. 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 5 Banks Avenue was lodged in July 2011 at band F and expired in July 2021, 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 5 Banks Avenue. 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 17 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF8 4DL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 Banks Avenue is in council tax band B. 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.
