Overview

About 17 Cottam Croft

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

17 Cottam Croft is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hemsworth, Pontefract, Pontefract (WF9 4HU). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The property has an EV charger and underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £251,000 is 43.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 40.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: May 2021 at £175,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
