About 1 Dronfield Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Dronfield Street is an end-of-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 5AU). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. At 53 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 18 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 52–131 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 18 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72).
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in February 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 53 m² it sits well below the postcode median (97 m² across 17 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £183,000 is 14.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£280/sq ft) was about 120.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Dronfield Street is modelled from its 53 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in LE5 5AU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for 1 Dronfield Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
