About 12 Delaware Road
12 Delaware Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Leicester (LE5 6LG). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in July 2016 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
