Overview

About 5 First Avenue

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

5 First Avenue is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Upton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 1BL). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
