Overview

About 1 New House Covert

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

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). The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

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. 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. Today's modelled estimate of £850,000 is 42.9% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 20.5% below the postcode norm.

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 1 New House Covert is modelled from its 247 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO26 6QX. 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 1 New House Covert. 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 1 New House Covert was lodged in May 2014 at band D and expired in May 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 New House Covert. 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 6QX, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 New House Covert is in council tax band G. 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.
