Overview

About 16 Edward Drive

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

16 Edward Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Glen Parva, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 9UR). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1582 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band B. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (September 2024) shows a C (score 74). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since February 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 147 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 668.4% above the 1996 sale of £46,200. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£29/sq ft) was about 66.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
