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.

About 17 George Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
17 George Street is a mid-terrace house in York (YO1 9QA). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 22 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2013–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 35.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 is 38.9% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 24.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in May 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.

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 17 George Street is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in YO1 9QA. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 17 George Street. 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 17 George Street was lodged in February 2014 at band E and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 3 applications are matched to 17 George Street. 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 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO1 9QA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 17 George Street 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.
