About 16 Longbow Avenue

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

16 Longbow Avenue is a four-bedroom detached house in Methley, Leeds, Leeds (LS26 9LD). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (October 2015) shows a C (score 73). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 85). The latest certificate is from October 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
