About 31 Meynell Road
31 Meynell Road is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 3NE). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (April 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 76), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £197,000 sits 556.7% above the 1999 sale of £30,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£32/sq ft) was about 70.6% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs).
