Overview

About 16 West Street

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

16 West Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Syston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 1HT). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2003, a hold of 23 years that's notably long for the area. Across 1997–2003, sale prices on this property compounded at 16.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £163,000 sits 89.5% above the 2003 sale of £86,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 23.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs).
