Overview

About 1 Albert Road

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

1 Albert Road is a seven-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE2 2AA). It has a recorded floor area of 197 m² (around 2120 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2019) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since June 2009. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a basement.

It hasn't traded since February 1998, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 197 m² the property is well over the postcode median (54 m² across 66 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 7 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 5 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £658,000 sits 498.2% above the 1998 sale of £110,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 58.5% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2001.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 1 Albert Road is modelled from its 197 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE2 2AA. 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 1 Albert Road. 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 1 Albert Road was lodged in May 2019 at band E and is valid until May 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to 1 Albert Road. 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 42 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE2 2AA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
1 Albert Road is in council tax band G. 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.
