About 7 Church Gate
7 Church Gate is a four-bedroom detached house in York (YO26 5BW). It has a recorded floor area of 109 m² (around 1173 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band E. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (January 2024) 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 90).
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 109 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £417,000 sits 75.2% above the 2009 sale of £238,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 45% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
