About 16 Equity Road
16 Equity Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0AS).

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.

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 £207,000 is 36.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 23.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
