Overview

About Flat 4

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

Flat 4 is a semi-detached house in Harrogate (HG1 4SP). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 163 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (57–163 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 6 units on file. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Today's modelled estimate of £260,000 is 26.8% below the 2020 sale of £355,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 23.6% below the postcode norm. At 163 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: August 2020 at £355,000.
