Overview

About 157 Otley Road

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

157 Otley Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Harrogate (HG2 0DA). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 88).

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £312,000 sits 76.8% above the 2008 sale of £176,500. At 71 m² it's 20.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (89 m² median across 16 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs).
