About 97a
97a is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE3 0TD). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 915 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 85 m² this is the 20th smallest of 21 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 30–85 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 21 units on file. The latest certificate (June 2021) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 33.1% below the 2022 sale of £252,500, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. At 85 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Most recent transfer: April 2022 at £252,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
