Overview

About 2 Birchwood Mews

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

2 Birchwood Mews is an end-of-terrace house in Harrogate (HG2 8DN). It has a recorded floor area of 27 m² (around 291 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (March 2016); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 27 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 19 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 25–41 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 19 units on file.

Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 is 19.8% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£296/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. At 27 m² it's 27% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (37 m² median across 18 EPCs).
