Overview

About Fountain House

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

Fountain House is a four-bedroom detached house in Helperby, York, York (YO61 2PY). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (January 2023) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (December 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets.

At 209 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 7 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in December 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £615,000 is 38.2% above the 2012 sale price.

Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Fountain House is modelled from its 209 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in YO61 2PY. 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. 4 sales are recorded for Fountain 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 Fountain House was lodged in January 2023 at band F and is valid until January 2033. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 7 applications are matched to Fountain 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 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 4 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO61 2PY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
