About 8 Arlington Road

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

8 Arlington Road is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Leeds (LS8 2RU). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C.

Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good.
