About 16 Cowper Grove
16 Cowper Grove is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leeds (LS8 5DG). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £116,000 is 25.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£110/sq ft) was about 45.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
