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 £235,000 sits 217.6% 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).

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Skelton House is modelled from its 137 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in WF9 1JU. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Skelton House. 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 Skelton House was lodged in June 2014 at band E and expired in June 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Skelton House. 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 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF9 1JU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Skelton House 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.
