About 1 Firs Grove
1 Firs Grove is a three-bedroom detached house in Harrogate (HG2 9HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 120 m² (around 1292 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in August 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since November 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. Across 1996–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £637,000 sits 109.7% above the 2009 sale of £303,750. At 120 m² it's 15.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (104 m² median across 3 EPCs).
