About 24 Priory Street
24 Priory Street is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in York (YO1 6EX). It has a recorded floor area of 234 m² (around 2519 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 234 m² the property is well over the postcode median (31 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 2 is the typical count. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -1.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £688,000 sits 102.4% above the 2009 sale of £340,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£135/sq ft) was about 41.1% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include subdivision, change of use to residential and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
