Overview

About 23 Beacon Drive

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

23 Beacon Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Upton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 1EF). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 796 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1998–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 10% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 is 35% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 23.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
