About 103 The Drive
103 The Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Roundhay, Leeds, Leeds (LS8 1LJ). It has a recorded floor area of 141 m² (around 1518 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
