3 Saxon Street, Leicester, LE3 0BL

3 Saxon Street is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0BL). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 928 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (65 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2005–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £167,000 is 39.2% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£129/sq ft) was about 22.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
