Local market context
17 Victoria Bar Apartments is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in York (YO1 6HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in March 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 60 m² this is the 15th smallest of 16 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 32–65 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 16 units on file. Other recorded features include notable views.
It hasn't traded since August 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 sits 223.5% above the 1998 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£105/sq ft) was about 40.4% below the postcode norm. At 60 m² it's 27.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (47 m² median across 45 EPCs).
