Overview

About 2 Oakwood Avenue

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

2 Oakwood Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in Leeds (LS8 2HZ). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2023) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 35 m² this is the 10th smallest of 83 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 18–296 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 83 units on file.

Today's modelled estimate of £121,000 is 77% below the 2022 sale of £527,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£1,399/sq ft) was about 496.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 35 m² it's 27.1% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (48 m² median across 82 EPCs). Most recent transfer: December 2022 at £527,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
