About 33 Ethel Road
33 Ethel Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5NB). It has a recorded floor area of 155 m² (around 1668 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (July 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 155 m² the property is well over the postcode median (102 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £368,000 is 47.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£150/sq ft) was about 27.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in January 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
