Overview

About 23 Fairways Drive

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

23 Fairways Drive is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Harrogate (HG2 7ES). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 696 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 67). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £229,000 sits 69.6% above the 2009 sale of £135,000. At 65 m² it's 24.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (86 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion refused in 2015.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 23 Fairways Drive is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HG2 7ES. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 23 Fairways Drive. 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 23 Fairways Drive was lodged in November 2008 at band E and expired in November 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 23 Fairways Drive. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG2 7ES, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 Fairways Drive 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.
