About 47 Halstead Street
47 Halstead Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 3RE). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (February 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £185,000 sits 122.6% above the 2009 sale of £83,100. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 99% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 84 m² it's 15.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (73 m² median across 32 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
