About 17 Church Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 Church Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Harrogate (HG1 4HE). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £349,000 is 22.5% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£226/sq ft) was about 23.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.

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 17 Church Avenue is modelled from its 117 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG1 4HE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 17 Church Avenue. 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 17 Church Avenue was lodged in February 2016 at band E and expired in February 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 17 Church Avenue. 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 19 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG1 4HE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 Church Avenue 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.
