Overview

About 49 Highfield Road

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

49 Highfield Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bubwith, Selby, Selby (YO8 6LZ). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since October 2011. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Main heating runs on oil.

Held since July 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (77 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £245,000 is 43.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£95/sq ft) was about 41.2% below the postcode norm.
