Overview

About 2 Castle Close

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

2 Castle Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Spofforth, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 1DA). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1791 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in April 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £543,000 sits 70.8% above the 2009 sale of £318,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£178/sq ft) was about 38.8% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 2 Castle Close is modelled from its 166 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in HG3 1DA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 2 Castle Close. 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 2 Castle Close was lodged in November 2008 at band E and expired in November 2018, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 2 Castle Close. 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 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG3 1DA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
2 Castle Close is in council tax band F. 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.
