Overview

About 4 New House Covert

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

4 New House Covert is a five-bedroom detached house in Knapton, York, York (YO26 6QX). It has a recorded floor area of 191 m² (around 2056 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 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 £782,000 sits 56.4% above the 2007 sale of £499,950.
