Overview

About 16 Castle Street

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

16 Castle Street is a three-bedroom detached house in Spofforth, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 1AP). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.

3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an annexe and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (120 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 84% of similar EPCs). Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £456,000 is 40.3% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£774/sq ft) was about 218.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

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 16 Castle Street is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG3 1AP. 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 16 Castle Street. 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 16 Castle Street was lodged in January 2014 at band C and expired in January 2024, 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. 3 applications are matched to 16 Castle Street. 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 1AP, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
16 Castle Street is in council tax band C. 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.
