Overview

About 3 Albion Street

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

3 Albion Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in York (YO1 6HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since May 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. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 sits 57.3% above the 2009 sale of £225,000. At 89 m² it's 20.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (74 m² median across 5 EPCs).
