About 52 Bakewell Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
52 Bakewell Street is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE2 0FE). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (October 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 52 Bakewell Street is modelled from its 157 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE2 0FE. 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 52 Bakewell 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 52 Bakewell Street was lodged in March 2016 at band F and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 3 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 52 Bakewell 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.

- Council tax band
- 52 Bakewell 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.
