Overview

About Solway Cottage

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

Solway Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Crayke, York, York (YO61 4TB). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 3 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since September 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £465,000 sits 263.3% above the 1997 sale of £128,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 50.7% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.

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 Solway Cottage is modelled from its 124 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in YO61 4TB. 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 Solway 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 Solway Cottage was lodged in September 2016 at band F and expired in September 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 Solway 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 1 school and 9 stops listed are measured in a straight line from YO61 4TB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Solway Cottage is in council tax band F. 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.
