Overview

About 6 The Gowans

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

6 The Gowans is a four-bedroom detached house in Sutton-On-The-Forest, York, York (YO61 1DJ). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in November 2016 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. Today's modelled estimate of £595,000 is 38.4% above the 2017 sale price.

Method

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 6 The Gowans is modelled from its 159 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO61 1DJ. 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 6 The Gowans. 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 6 The Gowans was lodged in April 2026 at band D and is valid until April 2036. 3 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 6 The Gowans. 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 24 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO61 1DJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
6 The Gowans 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.
