23 Fairways Drive, Harrogate, HG2 7ES
About 23 Fairways Drive
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 £221,000 sits 63.7% 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.
