About 37 Dronfield Street
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
37 Dronfield Street is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Leicester (LE5 5AU). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2014. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £273,000 sits 80.8% above the 2016 sale of £151,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.

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 37 Dronfield Street is modelled from its 102 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale 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. 1 sale is recorded for 37 Dronfield Street. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 37 Dronfield Street was lodged in March 2016 at band E and expired in March 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 37 Dronfield Street. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 17 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 51 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from LE5 5AU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 37 Dronfield Street is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
