Overview

About 16 Buttercup Close

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

16 Buttercup Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Upton, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 1ND). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 is 39.1% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£146/sq ft) was about 27% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
