Overview

About 5 Spen Drive

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

5 Spen Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leeds (LS16 5AH). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2025) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since March 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £395,000 sits 229.2% above the 2000 sale of £120,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 48.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2026. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
