A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
98 Earl Howe Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE2 0DG). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.

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 98 Earl Howe Street is modelled from its 72 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE2 0DG. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 98 Earl Howe Street. 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 98 Earl Howe Street was lodged in February 2014 at band E and expired in February 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 98 Earl Howe Street. 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 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE2 0DG, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 98 Earl Howe Street 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.
