Overview

About Flat 1

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

Flat 1 is a mid-terrace house in Acomb, York, York (YO24 3BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 83 m² (around 893 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 5 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65).

Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 is 57.3% below the 2018 sale of £555,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£621/sq ft) was about 207.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). Last sold in January 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
