Overview

About 29a

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

29a is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 0JB). It has a recorded floor area of 35 m² (around 377 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since February 2013. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Average and window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Today's modelled estimate of £153,000 is 83% below the 2019 sale of £900,000, below the original sale price, which typically signals condition or completion-status changes worth verifying. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,389/sq ft) was about 2447.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 35 m² it sits well below the postcode median (75 m² across 27 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold June 2019 for £900,000.
