Overview

About 7 Almsford Drive

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

7 Almsford Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in York (YO26 5NR). It has a recorded floor area of 151 m² (around 1625 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (May 2025) shows a C (score 70). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since February 2015. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average.

At 151 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 107.8% above the 2015 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 49.5% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
