Overview

About 48 Main Street

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

48 Main Street is a four-bedroom detached house in Barkby, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 3QG). It has a recorded floor area of 242 m² (around 2605 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory, a self-contained annexe and a loft. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 242 m² the property is well over the postcode median (126 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £787,000 is 34.5% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 20.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
