About 32 Farringdon Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
32 Farringdon Street is an end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 0EA). It has a recorded floor area of 50 m² (around 538 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2019) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (December 2008); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. At 50 m² this is the 5th smallest of 39 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 38–111 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C across 39 units on file.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in May 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 sits 320.7% above the 1999 sale of £29,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£54/sq ft) was about 46.5% below the postcode norm.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 32 Farringdon Street is modelled from its 50 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 0EA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 32 Farringdon Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 32 Farringdon Street was lodged in December 2019 at band E and is valid until December 2029. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 32 Farringdon Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 52 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 0EA, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 32 Farringdon Street is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
