About 2 Church Gate
2 Church Gate is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in York (YO26 5BW). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1180 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82). The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £336,000 is 46.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 47.2% below the postcode norm.
