About 7 Fairfax Street
7 Fairfax Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in York (YO1 6EB). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £284,000 sits 69% above the 2007 sale of £168,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 24.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 53 m² it's 22.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (69 m² median across 38 EPCs).
