About The Old Lodge
The Old Lodge is a three-bedroom detached house in Ilkley (LS29 8JT). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1237 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings.
On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2001–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £430,000 sits 73% above the 2012 sale of £248,500. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in March 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
