Overview

About Pear Tree Cottage

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

Pear Tree Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Wass, York, York (YO61 4BH). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 100), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 87 m² it sits well below the postcode median (191 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £471,000 is 26.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£398/sq ft) was about 64.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £372,600 in March 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
