About 5 Oakwell Avenue
5 Oakwell Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leeds (LS8 4AQ). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 14% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £334,000 sits 60.6% above the 2008 sale of £208,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 96 m² it's 26.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (131 m² median across 14 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).
