About 16 Equity Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
16 Equity Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0AS). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2018) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in January 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump.
Held since October 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 4 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 36.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 is 26.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 23.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 16 Equity Road is modelled from its 104 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE3 0AS. 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. 2 sales are recorded for 16 Equity 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 16 Equity Road was lodged in August 2018 at band E and is valid until August 2028. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 16 Equity 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 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 46 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE3 0AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 16 Equity Road is in council tax band A. 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.
