About 1 Balmoral Drive

1 Balmoral Drive is a semi-detached house in Leicester (LE3 3AD). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 3-band jump.
