How the estimate is made

The estimate for 2 The Cottages is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF9 1AF. 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.

Overview

About 2 The Cottages

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

2 The Cottages is a mid-terrace house in Badsworth, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 1AF). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 14 years since the last transfer (November 2012). At 62 m² it's 27.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 10 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 is 41.8% above the 2012 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 2 The Cottages is modelled from its 62 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF9 1AF. 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 2 The Cottages. 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 2 The Cottages was lodged in May 2012 at band D and expired in May 2022, 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. 3 applications are matched to 2 The Cottages. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 5 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF9 1AF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 The Cottages is in council tax band C. 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.
