About York House
York House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Sheffield (S1 2FG). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
