Overview

About 2 Beacon Drive

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

2 Beacon Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Upton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2020) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £287,000 sits 120.8% above the 2009 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£118/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm. At 102 m² it's 25.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (82 m² median across 28 EPCs).
