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.

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.
