Overview

About 4 Glen View

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

4 Glen View is an end-of-terrace house in Blaby, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 4FU). It has a recorded floor area of 28 m² (around 301 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band A. At 28 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (28–38 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (73 versus a worst of 54). The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good.

Held since July 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 28 m² it sits well below the postcode median (50 m² across 43 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £122,000 is 22% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£332/sq ft) was about 74% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
