Apartment 20, 22 York Place, Leeds, LS1 2EX

Apartment 20 is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leeds (LS1 2EX). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. At 51 m² this is the 6th smallest of 23 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 27–79 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). Main heating runs on electricity.

Today's modelled estimate of £150,000 is 21% below the 2008 sale of £189,825, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£346/sq ft) was about 33.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in January 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs).
