1 Celtic Close, York, YO26 5QJ

1 Celtic Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in York (YO26 5QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 500% above the 2000 sale of £44,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 82.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
