About 16 Victoria Bar Apartments
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Victoria Bar Apartments is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in York (YO1 6HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2016) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Victoria Bar Apartments is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in YO1 6HQ. 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. 5 sales are recorded for 16 Victoria Bar Apartments. 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 16 Victoria Bar Apartments was lodged in July 2016 at band F and expired in July 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Victoria Bar Apartments. 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 33 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO1 6HQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Victoria Bar Apartments is in council tax band B. 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.
