Overview

About 16 Highway Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

16 Highway Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5RD). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since September 2012. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since June 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 sits 98% above the 2004 sale of £200,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 20.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
