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

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 161 Roundhay Road is modelled from its 68 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LS8 5AN. 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 161 Roundhay Road. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC

- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 161 Roundhay Road. 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.

- Council tax band
- 161 Roundhay Road is in council tax band A. 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.
