About 6 The Drive
6 The Drive is a detached house in Roundhay, Leeds, Leeds (LS8 1JF). It has a recorded floor area of 369 m² (around 3972 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in January 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since May 2001, a hold of 25 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. At 369 m² the property is well over the postcode median (205 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,337,000 sits 349.4% above the 2001 sale of £297,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£75/sq ft) was about 58.1% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
