15 Castle Syke View, Pontefract, WF8 4LX
About 15 Castle Syke View
15 Castle Syke View is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Pontefract (WF8 4LX). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since November 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £201,000 sits 279.2% above the 1998 sale of £53,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£63/sq ft) was about 60.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
