Overview

About 22 French Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

22 French Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 4AH). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Across 2000–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £305,000 sits 71.3% above the 2014 sale of £178,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 54.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 96 m² it's 20% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 13 EPCs). Last sold in December 2014, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
