About 288 High Street

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

288 High Street is a semi-detached house in Boston Spa, Wetherby, Wetherby (LS23 6AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since February 2011.

It hasn't traded since July 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
