Overview

About 16 Balk Avenue

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

16 Balk Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Helperby, York, York (YO61 2PZ). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (59 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 sits 61% above the 2018 sale of £172,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in February 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
