Overview

About Taurus

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

Taurus is a semi-detached house in Knapton, York, York (YO26 6QJ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in November 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £351,000 sits 505.2% above the 1995 sale of £58,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Taurus is modelled from its 95 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO26 6QJ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Taurus. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Taurus was lodged in June 2015 at band E and expired in June 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Taurus. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 11 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO26 6QJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Taurus is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
