7a, Cross Chapel Street, Leeds, LS6 3JE

7a is a six-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leeds (LS6 3JE). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in October 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 117 m² the property is well over the postcode median (85 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 5 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £288,000 sits 323.5% above the 1997 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£54/sq ft) was about 67.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
