About 2 Emerald Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Emerald Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in York (YO31 8LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows an E (score 40), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since August 1995 — that's 31 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. Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 sits 453.7% above the 1995 sale of £54,000.
