About 12 Kensington Terrace
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
12 Kensington Terrace is a seven-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leeds (LS6 1BE). It has a recorded floor area of 241 m² (around 2594 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Across 2004–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 is 12.4% below the 2025 sale of £550,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. At 241 m² the property is well over the postcode median (67 m² across 62 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 5 is the typical count. A recent sale: £550,000 in September 2025. One planning record on file: HMO conversion approved in 2025. Past consents include HMO conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 12 Kensington Terrace is modelled from its 241 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LS6 1BE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 12 Kensington Terrace. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 12 Kensington Terrace was lodged in June 2016 at band D and expired in June 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 5 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 12 Kensington Terrace. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 41 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LS6 1BE, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 12 Kensington Terrace is in council tax band E. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
