About 12 Almsford Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Almsford Avenue is a detached house in Harrogate (HG2 8HD). It has a recorded floor area of 180 m² (around 1938 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 73). The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 12 Almsford Avenue is modelled from its 180 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HG2 8HD. 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 12 Almsford 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 12 Almsford Avenue was lodged in May 2012 at band C and expired in May 2022, 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 12 Almsford 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 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG2 8HD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 Almsford Avenue is in council tax band F. 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.
