Richmond Court, Flat 1, Union Street, Harrogate, HG1 1BW

Richmond Court is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Harrogate (HG1 1BW). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 56 m² the property is well over the postcode median (38 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock.
