Overview

About 16 Clare Grove

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

16 Clare Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Braunstone, Leicester, Leicester (LE3 3RL). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 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. At 68 m² it's 19.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (57 m² median across 16 EPCs). Across 1995–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £211,000 is 45.5% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£198/sq ft) was about 36% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
