About 1 Cross Street
1 Cross Street is a three-bedroom detached house in Gaddesby, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 4WD). It has a recorded floor area of 140 m² (around 1503 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £405,000 sits 52.8% above the 2009 sale of £265,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
