About Hanover House

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Hanover House is a four-bedroom detached house in Spofforth, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 1AG). It has a recorded floor area of 233 m² (around 2508 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2013) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Average to Poor.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Hanover House is modelled from its 233 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG3 1AG. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Hanover House. 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 Hanover House was lodged in January 2013 at band C and expired in January 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Hanover House. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 23 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG3 1AG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Hanover House is in council tax band G. 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.
