Overview

About 26a

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

26a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Evington, Leicester, Leicester (LE5 6DN). It has a recorded floor area of 62 m² (around 667 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 50). Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 62 m² this is the 14th smallest of 35 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–117 m². The building's EPC ratings span G to C across 35 units on file.

It hasn't traded since June 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2010, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £172,000 is 14.7% above the 2010 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 53.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
