About 19 Ethel Road
19 Ethel Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5NB). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1206 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2015 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 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.
