Overview

About York House

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

York House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sheffield (S1 2FG). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Held since September 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£185/sq ft) was about 18.9% below the postcode norm.
