Overview

About 5 Alder Way

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

5 Alder Way is a semi-detached house in New Earswick, York, York (YO32 4TH). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. At 46 m² this is the 4th smallest of 54 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–118 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a C (score 73). The rating has held steady at C across 4 certificates since May 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

It hasn't traded since January 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £115,000 sits 505.3% above the 2009 sale of £19,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£38/sq ft) was about 30.6% below the postcode norm. At 46 m² it's 27% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 53 EPCs).
