About 1 Church Gate
1 Church Gate is a three-bedroom detached house in York (YO26 5BW). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 72). Earlier certificates rated it B (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
