1 Drumcliff Road, Leicester, LE5 2LH

1 Drumcliff Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 2LH). It has a recorded floor area of 176 m² (around 1894 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since November 2009. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

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 176 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £250,000 sits 96.1% above the 2008 sale of £127,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 43% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
