Overview

About 16 Balmoral Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

16 Balmoral Drive is a semi-detached house in Leicester (LE3 3AD). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (September 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since June 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
