About 42 Richmond Avenue
42 Richmond Avenue is a seven-bedroom semi-detached house in Leeds (LS6 1DB). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2020) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since January 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).
It hasn't traded since May 1995, a hold of 31 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 417.9% above the 1995 sale of £56,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£59/sq ft) was about 31.5% below the postcode norm. At 88 m² it sits well below the postcode median (142 m² across 24 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 6 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
