26 Poplar Street, York, YO26 4SG

26 Poplar Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in York (YO26 4SG). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since February 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 100 m² the property is well over the postcode median (60 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £247,000 sits 605.7% above the 1997 sale of £35,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 85.1% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
