About Flat 1
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Flat 1 is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in York (YO24 1DB). It has a recorded floor area of 36 m² (around 388 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. At 36 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (36–47 m²). On EPC score it ranks first in the building (68 versus a worst of 65). The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 36 m² it sits well below the postcode median (64 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 11 years since the last transfer (November 2015). Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 is 35.5% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 92% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Start your researchHow 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 Flat 1 is modelled from its 36 m² EPC floor area, its 5 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in YO24 1DB. 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 Flat 1. 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 Flat 1 was lodged in April 2014 at band D and expired in April 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. None is matched to Flat 1. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO24 1DB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
