4a, Ambassador Road, Leicester, LE5 4DL
About 4a
4a is a detached house in Leicester (LE5 4DL). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2001 — that's 25 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. At 131 m² the property is well over the postcode median (92 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £411,000 sits 330.1% above the 2001 sale of £95,550. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£68/sq ft) was about 60% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2001. Past consents include a garage conversion and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
