About 5 Denton Avenue
5 Denton Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leeds (LS8 1LE). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in December 2008 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in October 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 157.2% above the 2009 sale of £180,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£127/sq ft) was about 36.8% below the postcode norm. At 132 m² it's 18.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 41 EPCs).
