Overview

About 15 Drivers Row

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

15 Drivers Row is a mid-terrace house in Pontefract (WF8 4HF). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 28 years, with the last transfer in February 1998. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 111 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £135,000 sits 237.5% above the 1998 sale of £39,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 53.4% below the postcode norm.
