About 8 Saxby Street
8 Saxby Street is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE2 0ND). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 4 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66).
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 163 m² the property is well over the postcode median (35 m² across 42 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £277,000 is 45.8% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£108/sq ft) was about 19.6% below the postcode norm.
