How the estimate is made
The estimate for 31 Scarcroft Hill is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO24 1DF. 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 31 Scarcroft Hill
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
31 Scarcroft Hill is a detached house in York (YO24 1DF). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 63 m² this is the 6th smallest of 24 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 40–192 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (102 m² across 23 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 74% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 31 Scarcroft Hill is modelled from its 63 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO24 1DF. 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 31 Scarcroft Hill, 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 31 Scarcroft Hill was lodged in June 2016 at band C and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 31 Scarcroft Hill. 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 29 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO24 1DF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 31 Scarcroft Hill is in council tax band D. 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.
