Overview

About 26 Bakewell Street

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

26 Bakewell Street is an end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE2 0FD). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since August 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £246,000 sits 446.7% above the 1995 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£33/sq ft) was about 72.2% below the postcode norm. At 125 m² it's 28.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 16 EPCs).
