Overview

About 1 Dovedale Road

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

1 Dovedale Road is a three-bedroom detached house in Leicester (LE2 2DN). It has a recorded floor area of 207 m² (around 2228 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a C (score 72). When first surveyed in May 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 207 m² the property is well over the postcode median (129 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 78% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 9 years ago, in March 2017. Across 2014–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £664,000 is 20.7% above the 2017 sale price.
