About 16 Gaul Street
16 Gaul Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0AU). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2023) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since July 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
Held since March 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £173,000 sits 92.2% above the 2009 sale of £90,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£91/sq ft) was about 16.4% below the postcode norm.
