1 Shaftesbury Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0QN). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 840 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2008 — that's 18 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. Today's modelled estimate of £146,000 sits 102.8% above the 2008 sale of £72,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£86/sq ft) was about 38.3% below the postcode norm. At 78 m² it's 27.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (61 m² median across 53 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
