About 1 Apley Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Apley Close is a detached house in Harrogate (HG2 8PS). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a C (score 70). The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 1996, a hold of 30 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £741,000 sits 394% above the 1996 sale of £150,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 64.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2022. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs).

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 1 Apley Close is modelled from its 172 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HG2 8PS. 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 1 Apley Close. 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 1 Apley Close was lodged in August 2014 at band C and expired in August 2024, 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 1 Apley Close. 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 20 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG2 8PS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Apley Close 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.
