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 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 93 m² this is the 14th smallest of 19 units on EPC record in York House, where floor areas span 45–168 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (14 versus a best of 82).

At 93 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. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 is 12.5% above the 2021 sale price.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for York House is modelled from its 93 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in S1 2FG. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for York House. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for York House was lodged in August 2009 at band G and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to York House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from S1 2FG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
York House is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
