About York House
York House is a semi-detached house in Sheffield (S1 2FG). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2017) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 48 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 18 units on EPC record in York House, where floor areas span 45–168 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B across 18 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £162,000 is 14.7% below the 2006 sale of £189,995, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£368/sq ft) was about 61.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Held since December 2006 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 48 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
