Overview

About Skelton House

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

Skelton House is a four-bedroom detached house in Upton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 1JU). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £261,000 sits 252.7% above the 2001 sale of £74,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 46.9% below the postcode norm. At 137 m² it's 22.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
