Overview

About 278 High Street

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

278 High Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Boston Spa, Wetherby, Wetherby (LS23 6AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 56 m² (around 603 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include outbuildings and a loft. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since March 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 sits 62.8% above the 2007 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£227/sq ft) was about 16.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 56 m² it sits well below the postcode median (136 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
