About The Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Cottage is a semi-detached house in Cattal, York, York (YO26 8DY). It has a recorded floor area of 111 m² (around 1195 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 99), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for The Cottage is modelled from its 111 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in YO26 8DY. 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. 2 sales are recorded for The 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 The Cottage was lodged in March 2015 at band E and expired in March 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
