Overview

About Melrose House

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

Melrose House is a four-bedroom detached house in Bishop Monkton, Harrogate, Harrogate (HG3 3QU). It has a recorded floor area of 270 m² (around 2906 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

8 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused, 1 pending. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. An active application for tree works is awaiting a decision. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 270 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On the market in December 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years. Across 1996–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £991,000 is 20.1% above the 2016 sale price.

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 Melrose House is modelled from its 270 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in HG3 3QU. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Melrose 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 Melrose House was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, 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. 8 applications are matched to Melrose 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 2 schools and 19 stops listed are measured in a straight line from HG3 3QU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
