Overview

About Grooms Cottage

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

Grooms Cottage is a detached house in Stillington, York, York (YO61 1LG). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1991 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 185 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £519,000 sits 75% above the 2007 sale of £296,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 43.3% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

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 Grooms Cottage is modelled from its 185 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO61 1LG. 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 Grooms 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 Grooms Cottage was lodged in February 2014 at band D and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 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 Grooms 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 15 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO61 1LG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Grooms Cottage 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.
