About 2 Firs Avenue
2 Firs Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Harrogate (HG2 9HA). It has a recorded floor area of 226 m² (around 2431 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 226 m² the property is well over the postcode median (158 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 15.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,002,000 sits 59% above the 2009 sale of £630,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
