Overview

About Spring Cottage

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

Spring Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Green Hammerton, York, York (YO26 8AE). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2145 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 43). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (151 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £586,000 is 41.2% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 17% below the postcode norm.

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 Spring Cottage is modelled from its 199 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in YO26 8AE. 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. 3 sales are recorded for Spring Cottage. 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 Spring Cottage was lodged in March 2010 at band F and expired in March 2020, 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 Spring Cottage. 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 2 schools and 18 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO26 8AE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Spring Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
