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 £235,000 sits 51.6% 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 15 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.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Brackenwood Close is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 4 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LS8 1RL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for 1 Brackenwood Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Brackenwood Close was lodged in September 2013 at band F and expired in September 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Brackenwood Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 42 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LS8 1RL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Brackenwood Close is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
