Overview

About Somerby House

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

Somerby House is a five-bedroom detached house in Kirkby Overblow, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 1HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 247 m² (around 2659 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since January 2011. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

At 247 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2012–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,184,000 is 33% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£335/sq ft) was about 18.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 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 Somerby House is modelled from its 247 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG3 1HQ. 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 Somerby 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 Somerby House was lodged in April 2015 at band F and expired in April 2025, 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 Somerby 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 1 school and 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG3 1HQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Somerby 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.
