About 40 Alden Crescent

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

40 Alden Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontefract (WF8 4JN). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (February 2014); the latest reading is one band lower.
