31 Ethel Road, Leicester, LE5 5NB

31 Ethel Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5NB). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since November 2014. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since August 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 190 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 sits 54.3% above the 2008 sale of £215,786. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2011.
