About 16 Hill Top Rise
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Hill Top Rise is a semi-detached house in Harrogate (HG1 3BW). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 746 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2008. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 69 m² it's 22.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 23 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £254,000 is 45.2% above the 2009 sale price.

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 16 Hill Top Rise is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HG1 3BW. 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 16 Hill Top Rise. 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 16 Hill Top Rise was lodged in October 2008 at band D and expired in October 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 16 Hill Top Rise. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG1 3BW, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Hill Top Rise is in council tax band C. 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.
