About 97 Skipton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
97 Skipton Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Harrogate (HG1 4LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 32.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £235,000 sits 74.1% above the 2003 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 27.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: subdivision approved in 2015. Past consents include subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).

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 97 Skipton Road is modelled from its 121 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG1 4LJ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 97 Skipton Road. 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 97 Skipton Road was lodged in July 2014 at band E and expired in July 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to 97 Skipton Road. 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 4LJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 97 Skipton Road 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.
