Overview

About 1 Ambleside Way

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

1 Ambleside Way is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE2 9GJ). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since August 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. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £190,000 sits 62.4% above the 2007 sale of £117,000.
