About 60 Tower Street
60 Tower Street is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Harrogate (HG1 1HS). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 30 years, with the last transfer in September 1996. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (94 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £470,000 sits 617.6% above the 1996 sale of £65,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£31/sq ft) was about 86.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
