About 4a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4a is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in South Elmsall, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 2HX). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (November 2020) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in January 2010 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. At 48 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 5 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 34–90 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 5 units on file.
It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.

Today's modelled estimate of £114,000 is 30.3% above the 2008 sale price. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.

Start your researchHow to read this page
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 4a is modelled from its 48 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in WF9 2HX. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4a. 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 4a was lodged in November 2020 at band C and is valid until November 2030. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 4a. 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 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from WF9 2HX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
