About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a semi-detached house in Harrogate (HG1 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. At 59 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–66 m². On EPC score it ranks last in the building (73 versus a best of 77). The latest certificate (June 2020) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.
Today's modelled estimate of £143,000 is 31.9% below the 2015 sale of £210,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2008. Past consents include subdivision and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 59 m² it's 24.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (48 m² median across 14 EPCs). Last changed hands 11 years ago, in February 2015.

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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 59 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HG1 1BB. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in June 2020 at band C and is valid until June 2030. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Flat 1. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 21 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG1 1BB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 1 is in council tax band B. 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.
