21 Halstead Street, Leicester, LE5 3RE

21 Halstead Street is a mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 3RE). It has a recorded floor area of 132 m² (around 1421 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2016) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 90). The latest certificate is from April 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since June 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 132 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 32 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £256,000 sits 91% above the 2010 sale of £134,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£94/sq ft) was about 172% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
