About 8 Oak Street
8 Oak Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in York (YO26 4SE). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 18.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 sits 54% above the 2007 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£182/sq ft) was about 15.9% below the postcode norm. At 70 m² it's 29.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (54 m² median across 19 EPCs).
