About 26 Royds Lane
26 Royds Lane is a detached house in Rothwell, Leeds, Leeds (LS26 0BH). It has a recorded floor area of 304 m² (around 3271 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in September 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £629,000 sits 85% above the 2009 sale of £340,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£104/sq ft) was about 21.3% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
