Overview

About Moonrakers

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

Moonrakers is a detached house in Brandsby, York, York (YO61 4RJ). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1057 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a G (score 19), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at G across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and main heating went from Very Poor to Poor; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 23). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 98 m² it's 25.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (132 m² median across 9 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 is 49.1% above the 2009 sale price.
