Overview

About 87a

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

87a is an end-of-terrace house in Harrogate (HG1 4LF). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 72 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 3 units on EPC record in 87a, where floor areas span 50–74 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (68 versus a worst of 50). The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £151,000 is 53.5% below the 2024 sale of £325,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£419/sq ft) was about 160.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2024. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £325,000 in March 2024.
