Overview

About 1 The Grove

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

1 The Grove is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Little Preston, Leeds, Leeds (LS26 8UX). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2024) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in October 2017 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 152 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £414,000 sits 130% above the 2018 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 37.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in February 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years.
