About Plum Tree Cottage
Plum Tree Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in York (YO26 5PN). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 756 sq ft). The latest certificate (August 2009) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 2 certificates since July 2009. The latest certificate is from August 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 82.7% above the 2009 sale of £150,000.
