About 65 Barkston Avenue
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
65 Barkston Avenue is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in York (YO26 5BA). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 420 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. At 39 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (39–96 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to B, with this unit at the bottom. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (77 m² across 15 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 is 49.2% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£220/sq ft) was about 42.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 12 years ago, in August 2014.

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 65 Barkston Avenue is modelled from its 39 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO26 5BA. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 65 Barkston Avenue. 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 65 Barkston Avenue was lodged in August 2009 at band E and expired in August 2019, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 65 Barkston Avenue. 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 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 14 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO26 5BA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 65 Barkston Avenue is in council tax band A. 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.
