Overview

About 26 Woodsmill Quay

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

26 Woodsmill Quay is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in York (YO1 6DX). It has a recorded floor area of 47 m² (around 508 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (February 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 71). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 47 m² this is the 18th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 29–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 35 units on file.

It hasn't traded since November 2004, a hold of 22 years that's notably long for the area. Across 2001–2004, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 sits 63% above the 2004 sale of £146,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 74% of similar EPCs).

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 26 Woodsmill Quay is modelled from its 47 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in YO1 6DX. 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 26 Woodsmill Quay. 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 26 Woodsmill Quay was lodged in March 2010 at band D and expired in March 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 26 Woodsmill Quay. 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 18 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 32 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO1 6DX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
26 Woodsmill Quay is in council tax band C. 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.
