About Forge House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Forge House is a detached house in Whixley, York, York (YO26 8AL). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since September 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 192 m² the property is well over the postcode median (123 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 163.5% above the 2009 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£97/sq ft) was about 59.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Forge House is modelled from its 192 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO26 8AL. 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 Forge House. 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 Forge House was lodged in July 2014 at band D and expired in July 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Forge House. 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 14 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO26 8AL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Forge House is in council tax band E. 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.
