How the estimate is made

About 20 Bedford Court
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 Bedford Court is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Leeds (LS8 2PL). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1355 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from August 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 126 m² this is the 16th smallest of 17 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 69–183 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 17 units on file. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 126 m² the property is well over the postcode median (72 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 2 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 is 35.6% above the 2007 sale price.

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 20 Bedford Court is modelled from its 126 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LS8 2PL. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 20 Bedford Court. 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 20 Bedford Court was lodged in August 2010 at band E and expired in August 2020, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 20 Bedford Court. 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 38 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LS8 2PL, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Bedford Court 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.
