About 52 Bakewell Street
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.
