About 4 Barker Street
4 Barker Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 3LF). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 710 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in September 2011 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £175,000 sits 157.4% above the 2002 sale of £68,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£96/sq ft) was about 45.6% below the postcode norm.
