About 22 Highway Road
22 Highway Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 5RD). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2023) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
