About 12a
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12a is a five-bedroom detached house in Harrogate (HG1 5EL). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (135 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Sold March 2019 for £855,000. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2000–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £950,000 is 11.1% above the 2019 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£405/sq ft) was about 134.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 12a is modelled from its 196 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG1 5EL. 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. 4 sales are recorded for 12a. 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 12a was lodged in April 2011 at band D and expired in April 2021, 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. 5 applications are matched to 12a. 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 22 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG1 5EL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12a is in council tax band E. 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.
