Overview

About Hillcrest

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

Hillcrest is a detached house in Ilkley (LS29 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 212 m² (around 2278 sq ft) and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £1,117,000 sits 59.6% above the 2009 sale of £700,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 212 m² it's 23.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (276 m² median across 10 EPCs).
