The estimate for Flat 2 is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG1 5QT. 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.

About Flat 2
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 2 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Harrogate (HG1 5QT). It has a recorded floor area of 52 m² (around 560 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 52 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (52–59 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (54 versus a best of 58). Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2020) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 52 m² it sits well below the postcode median (84 m² across 16 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£289/sq ft) was about 50.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2021 for £162,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 Flat 2 is modelled from its 52 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG1 5QT. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Flat 2. 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 Flat 2 was lodged in September 2020 at band E and is valid until September 2030. 2 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 Flat 2. 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 5QT, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Flat 2 is in council tax band B. 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.
