1a, Overton Road, Leicester, LE5 0JB
About 1a
1a is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 0JB). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2019) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (July 2009); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 468.9% above the 2008 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£36/sq ft) was about 62.9% below the postcode norm.
