Overview

About 21 Ambleside Drive

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

21 Ambleside Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE2 9LE). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2019) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since August 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74).

Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 sits 185.7% above the 2007 sale of £56,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£84/sq ft) was about 23.9% below the postcode norm. At 62 m² it's 22.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 15 EPCs).
