Local market context
1 3 is an end-of-terrace house in South Elmsall, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 2EN). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 sits 1790% above the 2007 sale of £10,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£7/sq ft) was about 90.3% below the postcode norm.
Recommended upgrades on file would lift this property by multiple EPC bands.
