How the estimate is made

The estimate for 40a is modelled from its 22 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO1 6LF. 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.

Overview

About 40a

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

40a is a semi-detached house in York (YO1 6LF). It has a recorded floor area of 22 m² (around 237 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 22 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in 40a, where floor areas span 21–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (42 versus a best of 80). The latest certificate (April 2019) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Very Poor.

Method

How to read this page

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 40a is modelled from its 22 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO1 6LF. 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. No sale is recorded for 40a, which usually means it hasn't changed hands since 1995 or the sale was not for value. 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 40a was lodged in April 2019 at band E and is valid until April 2029. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 40a. 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 31 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO1 6LF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
