About 24a

24a is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Blaby, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 4GB). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1647 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2023) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in August 2016 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since November 2005, a hold of 21 years that's notably long for the area. At 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (97 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 sits 66.8% above the 2005 sale of £235,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 30.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
