About 5 Covent House

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

5 Covent House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in York (YO1 9QE). It has a recorded floor area of 55 m² (around 595 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2003–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 4% per year.
