About 1 New House Covert
1 New House Covert is a six-bedroom detached house in Knapton, York, York (YO26 6QX). It has a recorded floor area of 247 m² (around 2659 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).

Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £912,000 sits 53.3% above the 2007 sale of £595,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 247 m² it's 29.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (191 m² median across 5 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count.
