About 12 Firs Drive
12 Firs Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Harrogate (HG2 9HB). It has a recorded floor area of 179 m² (around 1926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £786,000 sits 70.9% above the 2009 sale of £460,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
