About 40 Narborough Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
40 Narborough Road is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 33 m² (around 355 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in May 2012 the rating was G, the property has climbed 4 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 33 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 11 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 20–57 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 11 units on file.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 33 m² it's 20.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (42 m² median across 10 EPCs).

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 40 Narborough Road is modelled from its 33 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE3 0BQ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 40 Narborough 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 40 Narborough Road was lodged in March 2014 at band C and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 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 40 Narborough 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 50 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE3 0BQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 40 Narborough 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.
