Overview

About 1 Brackenwood Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

1 Brackenwood Close is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leeds (LS8 1RL). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (January 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, lighting went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 69 m² it's 23.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 21 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2012, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 54.8% above the 2012 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£209/sq ft) was about 53.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2019.
