Overview

About 23 First Avenue

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

23 First Avenue is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Harrogate (HG2 7PA). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2020. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Period features are noted in the property record.

Today's modelled estimate of £216,000 is 24.1% above the 2021 sale price. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £174,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

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 First Avenue is modelled from its 65 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG2 7PA. 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. 3 sales are recorded for 23 First Avenue. 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 First Avenue was lodged in March 2026 at band E and is valid until March 2036. 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 23 First Avenue. 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 16 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG2 7PA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
23 First Avenue 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.
