27 Shalford Road, Leicester, LE5 0AY

27 Shalford Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 0AY). It has a recorded floor area of 121 m² (around 1302 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) returns a high B (score 86), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since October 2007 — that's 19 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 £264,000 sits 53% above the 2007 sale of £172,500. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs).
