8 Riverdale Close is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Syston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 1FZ). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band B. At 57 m² this is the 7th smallest of 8 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 49–67 m². The building's EPC ratings span C to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (77 versus a best of 86). The latest certificate (January 2024) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band.

It hasn't traded since November 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area.
