Overview

About 16 Brook Road

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

16 Brook Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 2HD). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 79 m² the property is well over the postcode median (55 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £234,000 sits 76.6% above the 2016 sale of £132,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 10 years since the last transfer (June 2016).
