About 5 High Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
5 High Street is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Upton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 1HR). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 618 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2012) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (December 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from January 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 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. At 57 m² it's 18% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (70 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 24.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £142,000 is 10.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£207/sq ft) was about 32.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 5 High Street is modelled from its 57 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF9 1HR. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 5 High Street. 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 5 High Street was lodged in January 2012 at band F and expired in January 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. 1 application is matched to 5 High Street. 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 7 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF9 1HR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 5 High Street is in council tax band A. 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.
